What would cause your 19999 Lincoln Continental to die randomly?

Answer 1

Couple things, one you could have dirty fuel injectors, id add a can of seafoam or lucas fuel injector cleaner to your gas tank. Another thing is that car requires 91 octane for gas, you can put 87 "regular" but the engine just doesnt perform up to efficiancy, so try atleast 91 octane if you cant find any gas stations with 91 you can put 93 octane in, what happens when you put not the recommended fuel in the engine it starts building carbon in the intake manifold, the higher the octane the hotter and quicker the combustion. What would really help is adding 1/3 can of seafoam engine cleaner, i put that stuff in my 01 continental in all three locations it says on the bottle, one is in your gas tank, oil fill, and throttle body. Gas tank it cleans injectors, takes water out of tank and fuel lines, cleans combustion chamber, intake valves, in oil fill it takes moisture out of oil and helps lubricate the pistons and lifts and frees the lifters, and in throttle body, what you do it take your air cleaner hose off so you see the two butterflies on the TB, with the car off pour 1/3 can into the butterflies, you might have to open the butterflies so the seafoam can go down, after that put the air cleaner hose back on and start your car, its gonna hesitate and spit and spudder but just keep tapping the gas to keep it running, what its doing is cleaning all the built up carbon in your intake manifold, your gonna see alot of blue smoke for a couple of minutes, and that should help.
