I own a 1992 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series "Jack Nicklaus" with only 39000. Miles garaged it's whole life! I have had a problem for some time that I can't seem to fix. It will cut off and the check engine light will come on, at this time the fuel pump keeps running and will not stop until you turn the key off. Then the car will not restart until you turn the key off and then restart. I have changed the crankshaft position sensor, fuel filter, fuel and eec relays, to no avail still cuts off at random! I may start it one day and it will cut off several times on my way shopping etc. And then won't cut off on me the rest of the day? Go figure? Should I change the fuel pump, the computer, another sensor?Could there be a problem with the fuel shut off in the trunk? Also, I have checked the battery terminals and the wiring harnesses and they seem to be good. I'm at a loss. HELP!

Hi kdoxey, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation.

Check engine light on
Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on. And comeback for further assistance if needed.
