Maybe they are related. Maybe someone here can help me?

- The check engine light is on but goes out after about 30 min. on the freeway.
- The rpm meter somtimes jumps back and forth, eventhough I keep constant speed
- I can smell oil when driving...the car doen't seem to leak oil.
- The car seems to need a lot of gas, about 170 miles on a tank....is that normal?

I just made an oil change + filter but the light is still on.

Thanks for any answers!

After unlocking the doors the car is ok for roughly 2 minutes before there's a loud beep. Opening the doors after that will trigger the alarm and it won't stop until the remote unlock is pressed. Today a new problem arose, the remote stopped working. I have the key to manually open the door but when I do the alarm will go off and won't stop until the unlock button on the remote is pressed. So..

If I open the door, pop the hood, and disconnect the battery I know it will stop the car alarm but if I leave it disconnected for a while, will it possibly reset the alarm so it won't continue this madness? If not, any ideas?


Also, as far as I know, the alarm system is what originally came in the vehicle. ]]> All Other Vehicles mcqueen http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums/all-other-vehicles/143673-99-lumina-car-alarm-help.html cougar xr7 running lean http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums/all-other-vehicles/143322-cougar-xr7-running-lean.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:17:32 GMT my buddy at work has a 95 xr7 cougar with the 4.6
and his cel light been coming and going for about 3 weeks now. He took it last week to a shop and had it checked out and the guy told him its running lean so i changed his fuel filter it was plugged and disconnected the battery and its back on again same code. I looked for any noticeable vac lines cracked and didnt see any also cleaned the m.a.f as well disconnected the batter once again but the light is still on. Any other ideas of what to look for? the guy pulled the vac line off the fuel pressure regulator and it didnt get rich so he said its nothing major, but i always thought a lean running motor wasn't good?

It featured the new ecoboost V6. The segment had a hill climb contest putting the lincoln against a BMW, Jag, Maserati and a Mercedes. All except the Lincoln had V8's. The Lincoln came in second overall and was barely beaten by the BMW 550i. A good sign for the ecoboost potential if you ask me.

I bought the car in April and it practically need to be fully gone over. It has a busted drivers side rear spring, worn passengers side tierod end, the trans leaks, engine leaks, the rack leaks, and so on. The seats have a stale feeling to them, the dash is cracked and it smells like a smoker. The exterior is rusted and so are the floor boards. also had a Macco B.S. paint job. What my goal is, is to take a car that is almost never modded and turn it into a tastfully modified street car that can run low 14's on all motor.

So, this is what i'm starting with...





Here she is after some cleaning and a little bit of paint...


The rust...




Parts run...
