Hey scotty, I bought 2005 lincoln ls v8 with nearly 160k kms on it and its running perfectly fine and smoth, but it feels kinda slow on the gas. 0-60 in 8 seconds which is 1.5 second off from regular 0-60 on same car on yt so I feel like something not working what should I check for first?
Get it scanned for codes and go from there.
You're comparing the 0-60 time of a brand new LS Sport to a 17 year old LS. The engine and transmission have 17 years and 100,000 miles on them. If its running fine then there's no reason for concern over a second and a half increase in the 0-60 time.
Fresh plugs, fuel and air filters, maybe some Techron or the like to clean the injectors might pep it up a little.
Ever considered a new EGR and PCV valve on this 17 year old car? Just a thought.

Probably your expectations; for believing everything you see on YouTube/online..
So I got 2005 lincoln ls v8 with only 157k km(im in canada), its running well and no codes all I/m ok, but it accelerate bad (0-60 in 8 sec) way off from youtube results even. And only thing I noticed is 50% load on idle which may mean something. I can probably drive this car for years and never have to fix anything but what should I check for if I want it to accelerate normally?
You asked about this "lack of power" issue three days ago and received answers. It is against forum rules to make multiple posts about the same thing. Please take note for future reference. Thank you. (Topics merged.)
