One problem related to ignition has been reported for the 1997 Lincoln Mark Viii. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Valve covers are very hard to take off. Spark plug seals leak oil, into spark plugs and coils, this is very dangerous, and could case a serious fire. There is no way to tell, if this is happening, until you take the coils covers off, because the coils covers have a rubber seal.
