Cops Code?

[Anezangl]

Well the "wifes" 2003 bird is down again...........I was certain I had seen the "code" for the cops somewhere on the site in the past but I have high speed scanned numerous times and can't find it. I have had two different code readers try their luck but neither have been able to get the car to respond and give up the info the little lady says she ( the car) is just being a good little bitc....! Another friend has one of them super duper snap-on readers and says he can get her to talk. Would one of you knowledgeable folk have that code handy? I refuse to take her bird to the dealer until I know the problem especially after the shellacking I took with the tranny! From the symptoms I believe it is the cops but would like to have the upper hand on the dealer when they pull that wool over my eyes! Thanks people! Hay have a great forth og July!!

The COPS are covered up to 100,000 miles on 2003's have you talked with a dealer or showed him the letter?

Hey George! No I have not spoke with dealer at this point. I want to have read the codes before I contact them. I want to let them know I know what is wrong with the car so they can not do to me what they did with the transmission fiasco! I have my letter but I no longer trust Ford or their dealer network. I would like to be able to take the car in and tell them which cops to replace and not to touch anything else. Sad, that I have to feel this way but it is what it is. Although I must say I still will not buy forgein!

Have you tried AutoZone or other parts houses that offer to read the code for free?

[Anezangl]

Quickdraw, didn't know they did that. Will give the closest parts house a call. Do you think its ok to drive the car to them? Its shak'n and rattl'n purrty good!

Gave them a call before I submitted this post. They can read code but can not interpret what the code is related too! Say they have a book for cross reference but tell me the book is never correct! ...............

Any of you know the code for the cops?....................

It sounds like you need to try a Lincoln dealer. More professional and they understand the engine issues since there are a lot more Lincoln LS's out there with the same issues/same engine.
