Two problems related to engine failure have been reported for the 1998 Lincoln Continental. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine shuts down while driving. Engine fails to start. These events happen intermittently and after a breif wait it will general start. Like always this will not happen when the dealer can experance the event. Biggest conser is that power steering and power brakes fail with the engine when this takes place on the road at hiway speeds. Have been towed to the dealer and then always starts upon arrival.
Timing chain failed causing engine failure.
