Scotty Kilmer Hey Scotty I do not no much about cars. I wanted to ask if you knew about 2005 Lincoln's LS's. I noticed that when I turn my key to start my car that I have a service light come on and my car starts shaking I just got a oil change and I have oil i was wondering if you could help me out there is suppose to be a reset button on the Ac to reset the oil life but I do not have one my car don't come with one the 2002 and up do but not my 2005. If you could help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Also when I get going to about 45 to 50 speed the service light kick back on a drops my meter down and the car shakes again.

Anything would help Thank you

A story and suggestion. I recently changed spark plugs and some other preventative maintenance in my 2014 Traverse. My wife came home from work one day saying she could smell gas in the car. I freaked out for a minute, afraid I messed up a fuel line somehow (even though I hadn't messed with the fuel system). I soon realized it had to be due to something I did. I started the car (ran fine) and smelled the tail pipe. No gas smell. It was only in the cabin and under the hood. I sniffed around under the hood, real close to the engine. I could smell gas only over one ignition coil, no where else. Turned out, I hadn't tightened down that one spark plug enough. It came loose way too easy. I compared that spark plug well with the one next to it. It had some residue in it. After snugging down that plug, smell went away. So, if you've recently changed plugs, a gas smell could be a loose plug.

Scotty, I had a gas tank replaced on my 1969 Ford Fairlane which caused gas vapor smells in the trunk and inside the car. I took it back to the shop and they admitted no problem.

However, I’ve been told my catalytic converter is going bad.

they don't sell fiats here, so i don't know about the filter. change the oil and filter, and pray it goes away. if not, fuel is leaking into the engine somehow, like weak injectors or fuel pressure regulator leaking

remove them carefully, as they often rust on and break off when you try removing the bolts. spray em with WD 40 and let them soak overnight first. Good Luck

drive shafts that are worn can do that, but more often it's an alignment problem from worn front end part like ball joints. See a better front end man to check it out

many things can go wrong in an overhaul, but rpms have to do with transmission, not engine itself. If it goes too high rpms at a low speed, it's not shifting right or the gears or rear end have been messed with

no, you have an evap system failure, like a bad vent valve or bad charcoal cannister or pinched vent hose.
