My Lincoln
2002 Lincoln Town Car
02 Town Car my temperature guage drops from normal to C then dies no codes
I have replaced the pcm
I have replaced both temp sensors
The Thermostat
The coil over plugs
The IAT
The throttle body sensor
The Maf
Cleaned all the grounds
Checked all fuses and relays
The LCM
Bled coolant system
Checked output on alternator
Cleaned battery terminals

It will idle for hours and nothing happens
While driving sometimes around the block or sometimes gor miles Then the guage drops to c and the engine dies. Sometimes it will start back up sometimes it wont for a while. When it does start back up the guage goes back to normal.
The battery is holding a charge.
Sometimes I can drive for 3 or 4 days before it does it again sometimes for only 5 min. Can anybody out there help me wth this? Or has anybody had the same probem if so what did you do this is very frustrating.
