Lincoln MKS
A large front-drive saloon on the same D3/D4 platform as the Ford Taurus and Flex — which makes almost all of its mechanical documentation Taurus documentation, engines included. The EcoBoost cars are the ones with a distinct fault history: twin turbochargers, a high-pressure direct-injection fuel system and a charge-air circuit the naturally aspirated 3.7 has none of, plus the intake-valve carbon that direct injection deposits. The adaptive suspension and the electric power steering are the other two systems that separate it from the Ford.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
