My folks had the same problem with their LS, except the car would die outright instead of just limp (really inconvenient when merging on a busy freeway). Found a website where a pro mechanic had captured the problem with elaborate diagnostic equipment--a failing coil or two can cause a voltage spike on the primary ignition circuit which knocked the ECU unconscious! Eight new coils solved the problem. That's a well-known problem with the LS--have heard of people picking up creampuffs on the cheap and installing new coils and getting a really nice car for next-to-nothing (my folks were ready to dump theirs until we found the problem). Bob -------------------------------- Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA ----- Original Message ----- I had nearly the same problem with a Lincoln LS a few years ago, it turned out to be two bad coil packs. The miss caused the car to go into limp mode which also shuts the ac compressor off.
