Help!!! Anyone have this problem?? my check engine light comes on when I get on the gas(and who does'nt) and goes back out when I level my speed out. The engine performance is not affected what so ever and have had it put on a tester and get zero fault codes. Any clues?

You probably have a grounding issue. What kind of scantool did you use? To make sure you might want to have it tested at a ford dealership. The WDS and NGS that they use will display a LOT more codes and PIDs than any generic scanner (even if it's Ford enhanced).

SOme older lincoln are known for flashing the DLC light after EEC testing. The dash simply has poor wiring.

Like you said if there is no probem (other than the obnoxious flashing light and can deal with it) don't worrie about it. Mind you if you go to a dealership to have it fixed they will probably charge you straight time. That can get pricy fast.

Took it to Ford and their machine kicked no code faults. They recommened that I leave it for a full tune up and run it again. I just had a full tune up and a rebuild on the tranny. I also had a new radio installed and they rerun my battery ground which I am going to put it back where it is mounted to the underside due to engine static in the radio. Could that be part of the issue? It started not long after that.
