I recently went to a mechanic and was told that my intake manifold on my 2000 Lincoln towncar was leaking. He also advised me about a recall about the leaking manifolds but when I contacted Lincoln they denied any recalls about it. I have yet not repaired my intake manifold and am still waiting for a response from Ford or Lincoln from my letters that I have written.

The check engine light came on while driving. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer five or six times. They performed a diagnostic test that showed some kind of pin hole, but the consumer did not know where this was on the vehicle. The service engine light continued to illuminate. The dealer offered no explanation other the pin hole theory. The light was currently still on, and the consumer just left the vehicle at the dealer again. Consumer said no repairs or corrections have been made.
