Two problems related to engine and engine cooling have been reported for the 1996 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Small piece of plastic from intake went into the cylinder #4 and rapped around one of the values causing this value to stay open so cylinder #4 has no compression.
Intake on motor was made of plastic and it cracked. The replacement was redesigned with aluminum front in place of plastic. If part was designed right why was replacement made with aluminum. The cost of the part was over 550. 00 plus labor and other parts.
