locating the fuel pump and jet pump of the 2001 Lincoln LS. ... I have a question: Did you find that the fuel pump seems to be stuck/screwed in the tank? ... I'm in the process of replacingmines now and I'm having a little trouble kinda .... How to do a Water Pump Installation for a Ford 4.6L V8 - Advance Auto ...

Front steering / suspension is only as good as its weakest link. There are many components working together that can be problematic here is a list of liikely culprits & things to check, tried to put easy stuff first:

• tire pressures
• steering fluid
• worn/loose steering rack
• tie rod ends
• column u-joints
• suspension - struts, joints, bushes components & integrity

Most likely a leak & low on refrigerant

Need a shop to leak check,evacuate,make repair,
and recharge

The inertia switch should be in the trunk behind the trim panels.
You may need a pump relay.

Yes both years used that engine.

It's your Cat. I promise you I hads the same thing happen to mine and was told it was just my heat shild but if that was the case then it would raddle all the time I thought then when I got a new cat it all stoped

Remove driveshaft,them fuel tank. You have two pumps in tank

you probably have air trapped in the system. Have dealer or radiator shop bleed system.

I assume your cooling fan is working.

what engine v6 or v8?

SECTION 303-03: Engine Cooling 2001 Lincoln LS Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Engine Cooling The cooling system components include the:

• block heater (optional)
• cylinder head temperature sensor
• fan blade, fan motor and fan shroud assembly
• radiator
• pressure relief cap
• degas bottle
• radiator draincock
• water pump
• oil cooler (optional)
• water thermostat

The water thermostat:

• controls the engine coolant temperature.
• allows quicker engine warm-up.

The degas bottle:

• provides a location for system fill.
• contains coolant expansion and system pressurization.
• provides air separation during operation.
• replenishes the engine coolant to the system.

The fan blade draws air through the radiator to help cool the engine coolant.
The fan motor:

• operates only when the engine is running.
• will not operate when the engine is off.

The engine coolant flows:

• from the lower radiator hose to the water pump.
• from the water pump to the engine block and the cylinder heads.

A closed water thermostat returns the engine coolant to the water pump. An open water thermostat allows the engine coolant to flow to the radiator.
Unsatisfactory coolant materials:

• Alcohol-type antifreeze does not provide adequate water pump lubrication.
  • has lower boiling point
  • reduced antifreeze protection
• Alkaline brine solutions will cause serious engine cooling system damage.

The cylinder head temperature sensor provides a signal to the temperature gauge.

• will invoke failsafe cooling.

The optional block heater:

• electrical heating element is installed in the block cooling jacket.
  • uses a standard 110V (220V in Europe) electrical supply
• keeps the engine coolant warm during cold weather.

The auxiliary water pump (3.9L only):

• provides heater coolant flow boost.
• has a secondary function of providing engine-off cooling.

could be but it could also be the fuel pump,the immobiliser,the auto choke,the sensor in the water jacket for the auto choke ,could be anything and you wouldnt know .
