My friend with the 1990 lincoln mark VII was on the way to prague when his engine started to make funny noises and the check engine light came on.
(According to him the check engine light comes on when the engine overheats or oil pressure is low.)
He describes the noise as "ticking like a diesel".
He sent me a video but unfortunately he is standing at the drivers door and not in front of the engine.
I have no idea why ^^
He asked me for advice.
Before the video i guessed maybe oil pressure was low due to faulty oil pump etc.
But judging by the crappy video i'm not really sure what it is.
He says after he let it sit for a while the noise was going away or at least getting better. But its coming back.
When he goes down hill or off accelerator check engine light tends to go back on...
Probably meet him saturday so if the car isn't in the shop by then could take a closer look ^^
He was driving 200 miles this way if i got him right which of course wasn't smart. (Except he's very lucky and its just an exhaust leak...)
Just 2 weeks ago i heard the engine running myself. It was running LIKE NEW. No funny noises at all.
Car just has about 15k miles on the odometer. He bought it last year and put about 2500 miles on it in the last couple months... Would really be a shame if the engine already needs to be rebuilt...
BTW: Does somebody know if ford sells complete crate engines like chevrolet does?
