Why does your 00 Lincoln cluster light is flashing?

Answer 1

If you mean the 'check engine light' is flashing, there are many possible causes. The engine management system monitors various sensors to ensure that the engine is running as it was designed. The check engine light will come on if the computer senses a problem with the emissions system. One common problem (especially with the early models) is that the coils can wear out prematurely and start to cause a misfire. When a cylinder misfires, raw gasoline fumes are introduced into the exhaust stream. The O2 sensors register the excess fuel vapor and trigger the check engine light. If the condition lasts for more than a few seconds, the check engine light will change from flashing to steady and will remain on until the car goes through numerous startup cycles without experiencing a similar misfire condition.
