Try the accelerator position sensor under your foot

Check your gas cap. If someplace can test it you might luck out. This website advertises manuals and info online. The evaporator cannister is suppose to purify excess fuel vapors. But a system which is not sealed will code an error lamp.

SOURCE: 94 Lincoln TC engine stalls when slowing/stopping
Most common cause of stalling for Lincolns in that era is the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). It regulates fuel mixture, idle speed etc. A bad TPS will usually act up in one of two ways:
As far as valve cover oil leak, it's a problem that should be addressed to keep oil from fouling your spark plugs but highly unlikely to be the cause of your stalling problem. Hope this answers your question. All the best.

I would replace the plugs since you have almost 60k since they were last changed. One of them could be misfiring when accelerating.

Hi Alan:
You might have an air or a vacuum leak. This is very common! Open the
hood and listen for a hissing sound when the engine is running. Unmetered
air can enter the engine through a vacuum leak, a dirty airflow sensor
that is not reading airflow accurately, an EGR valve is not closing and
is leaking exhaust into the intake manifold, an EGR valve that is
allowing too much flow.
If it is hard to pinpoint take some brake
cleaner or starting fluid around the intake manifold and vacuum lines
and see if the engine stumbles or if the idle is affected.
Also, your throttle body may be
carboned up and need to be cleaned! This can cause all sorts of idle and
hesitation problems. This is caused by the throttle plate not seating
properly. The First thing i would do is clean out the throttle body with
some throttle plate and intake cleaner and a small brush. Another
common cause would be the Idle Air Control motor. This is very common on
older cars. The IAC motor gets lazy and cant keep up with the fast idle
changes. Also when the IAC motor is out, I rec to check the passages
for carbon build up. If they are plugged they need to be cleaned out.
Possible Causes
Check for air leaks in the Air Induction system (e.g., in the intake manifold)
Check for air leaks in the PCV system and in its related hoses and/or valve
Idle air inlet passage or throttle bore is dirty or full of deposits
IAC valve has failed
MAF sensor is dirty, "skewed" or installed improperly
Throttle plate, throttle shaft or linkage is damaged or sticking
TP sensor is out-of-range or "skewed" high
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your
feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if
you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day and Merry X-mas.
