There is only one Lincoln Dealer in my area. I purchased the car from them but won't trust them to touch it again.

As far as I know any Ford dealer can do waranty on Lincoln or Fords.
But the key is that they have good factory trained tech/mechanics to work on it.
I would think that a good trained tech/mechanic could get to the bottom of the problem and fix it for you.
If the dealer does not fix it for you.
There is a 800 customer service no. in your owners manual that you can also call.

Yes the Lincoln and Ford has the same about the same 4.6 engine but the computer/pcm system may be set up different.
Tip on going to the dealer
Ask that only a factory certified gasoline engine performance specialist work on your car.
Not all dealerships are concerned with how repairs are dispatched, and not all dealership techs bother to take advantage of the training offered by factory (the vast majority of which is paid training). If the dealer is uncooperative, ask for your money back and call around for a dealer that will accommodate you.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
