Re: 1988 lincoln town car
Sounds like the anti theft module is going bad. Is the anti theft light flashing when you crank it?

Re: 1988 lincoln town car
Oil Blow By. I would guess he is going through DPFE and Vacuum Solenoids. Might want to try the basics, Air, Fuel And Spark. Then get back to us.

Re: 1988 lincoln town car
Fuel pressure is low. I would check and replace the fuel pump.

Re: 1988 lincoln town car
Possibly, but I have seen fuel pumps do this. Just have someone put a gauge on it and check the pressure.

Re: 1988 lincoln town car
Fuel filter could be clogged. It's an easy thing to replace, but no one ever pays attention to it. I would check that first.
