you will have a check engine light on, read code & look up problem code, If u don't have a scan tool Auto Zone dose it for you for free! then repair the problem! I had one it was the throttle position sensor in my 05 LS. So fix the problem what ever it is. Your car goes into limp mode for a reason not so u can just reset it.
The Lincoln LS has a electronic coolant valve box that will constantly go out on them before other coolant system parts . When i thought it was my water pump. When thought it was my radiator. Even begin to think it was my heads or head gaskets. Turns out . All you have to do is replace that box. If you are standing in front of car and motor. It is located on your left hand side of radiator. Along down the side of radiator is a electronic box that opens and close with the coolant system. It receives the coolant from your heater core and motor . And in turn is pushed back into radiator to be cooled. But sometimes more times that often. Thus bix goes out first before all. And from knowing it will cause your car to start overheating
