Recently bought this used with less thank 100k miles (93). It seems to run good except for this weird "lurching" feeling when I first starting driving it (it's automatic), but has the d4-d5 3-1 stick option. I just put it in d4-d5 and go. I think when it first shifts into first gear it gets this "lurch" where it feels something sticking when it shifts into the next gear. My o2 sensor was recently changed because the check engine light came on, and that's what they said it was.
I thought it might have been a misfiring of the piston? Caused from the sensor. And I even asked the guy about it. The mechanic who worked on it, nice guy, said this vehicle has a jaguar engine in basically? lol? what? I don't know what that meant, I guess he said lincoln designed their engines similar for this line? So he said make sure I use super gas, and that the lurching might be a fuel line clog or the sensor in their sticking? I forget how he explained it. he said he added some lucas fuel additive to see if that breaks anything up. so far, it hasn't felt better. I am looking for some opinions here guys. And it is a v6 obv. Thanks a lot. I might ship some decent fg if I can narrow down the problem and fix it. Any other questions you need from me, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks guys.
OH, also, if anyone has any advice on a decent sound system for this vehicle, I'd be open to suggestions. The factory has no usb and shitty subs. The cd player is fucking weak sauce too.
Thanks.
