Rough idle runs rough Lincoln town car 1998?
I have 1998 a Lincoln town car with the same problem.. It idles rough when you start, then smooths out once it warms up and you give it gas. From what I am reading its either an oxygen sensor or you have vacume leak in one of your hoses by the manifold.

I'm not a pro but sometimes the timing can be off, if it idles higher than it should out the gate, that can do it. That's all I got...good luck
