Replacement parts for 95 lincoln mark viii?

are there engine parts (electronic) or otherwise on a 1995 lincoln mark viii engine which should be replaced automatically after certain miles according to lincoln...map sensors etc. My car has 133000 miles on it ....thanks|||Well, not electronic parts...one of the simpler things that is overlooked until the car starts running roughly, are the vacuum hoses. after a long time heat tends to dry rot these. It is a good practice to look all around the engine and compartment for the small rubber hoses that connect various components. There are a lot of them, trace each one to either end and look for ones that are hard, brittle and/or cracked. Replace any that you may be suspicious of...





Heater hose inspection, radiator hoses, virtually all rubber hoses should be looked at often. That, by itself, can prevent many catastrophic/surprise failures...





I take it you check fluids regularly...do it often, and any that go down suddenly are indications that something needs to be looked at fast...





The only two things that should be changed "automatically" are the thermostat (every two years), AND the biggest reason for transmission failure, transmission filter and fluid (every 30,000 to 45,000 miles).





Rule of thumb is, "keep it clean". Change fluids regularly, replace filters, plugs/plug wires every couple/three years, and your car should last a good long time.|||you can leave sensors alone until they start to act up on you and give you a check engine light. it's the check engine codes you want to pay attention to. If a sensor's not working right, it's gonna let you know. Then fix it right away, before it throws off your engine tuning or you could foul up other parts and sensors with unnecessary emissions





for now all you need to do is a tune up





spark plugs, wires





get a book for your car and test the ignition system. I know the old 302's had trouble with the ignition control module. On your 95 I don't know it might not have a seperate icm but if it does have one under the hood somewhere you want to check it's not starting to burn out
