3 Engine Problems You Should Only Fix at Your Lincoln Dealership

Your Lincoln engine is powerful and provides the energy you need to enjoy your car out on the road. To ensure your engine is always in perfect working order, engine problems must be fixed as soon as they appear. In Houston, TX, your Lincoln dealership has the technicians, resources, and equipment to repair any problem. These are a sample of the problems that we can fix for you.

Engine Coolant Leaks

Your engine is naturally a hot place. Your Lincoln has a cooling system to control the temperature and prevent it from overheating. Liquid coolant flows through the system and absorbs engine heat. This heat is transported to the radiator, where it’s removed by heat exchange. Coolant is essential for your engine and also means that a coolant leak is a serious problem.

Coolant can leak from many different places, including worn radiator hoses, a damaged radiator cap, or a loose clamp. Coolant leaks are usually easy to see, as coolant is green, yellow, pink, or blue. If you see or suspect your coolant is leaking, it’s important to fix this ASAP. Our technicians will trace the leak and fix it. Once the leak is fixed and the coolant level is restored, your engine temperature will return to normal.

Damaged Spark Plugs

Spark plugs provide the ignition source for combustion. Fuel and air mix in the cylinders and the fuel-air mix is then ignited by the spark plugs. The resulting controlled explosion produces the power that moves your car. A spark plug can fail for several reasons, including age and wear. They can also be damaged by a high fuel-air mix.

Efficient combustion requires huge amounts of air, and this air is provided via your car’s air filter. This filter removes contaminants before the air enters your engine. The filter will eventually clog up. Without enough air, your engine will become fuel-rich. The excess fuel won’t burn, and some of it will coat the spark plugs in carbon. This carbon damages the plugs, and they will need to be replaced.

Reduced Acceleration

When you step on the gas, your Lincoln should respond with increased power. If your engine feels like it’s lumbering forward rather than sprinting, our technicians will examine it and find the cause of the low power. This problem can be caused by a variety of factors, including a blocked fuel filter, a timing chain problem, or a malfunctioning oxygen sensor.

We will examine each of these and other possible causes to find the problem. Our technicians have the assistance of the most up-to-date diagnostic system from Lincoln. We’ll connect your car’s computer to our system, which will scan your computer for all possible issues. Once the problem is identified, we can repair it. Most acceleration problems can be quickly and easily resolved.
