    Poor gas mileage. Bad short term fuel trim

    those are secondary trims with a default value of 99.92. the ptec was capable of using downstreams to do sub-trims but it wasn’t used on newer cars you’ll see p2096/97/98/99 associated with the downstream trim

    AutoZone's car code says I need to replace the PCV valve and/or hose...

    you need to see what happens to long term trims at cruise. if they come down it’s a small vac leak

    Lincoln LS Supercharger

    sc mounts to block and the holes are there, intercoolers will bolt onto a gen 2 but you need to figure out how to adapt the 3.9 throttle body, maybe tp1/tp2 voltage curve is the same on the jaguar tb. heads are not interchangeable between lima and bridgeend build. water jackets are different...

    2006 gen 2 3.9 LS Loud ticking from PS Valve cover after Changing lower intake gaskets and cooling system components... 90k miles my only car... :(

    secondary tensioner can collapse, easy job to do. seen it a grand total of once on a 4.3 aston tensioner slipper pad can break off too, heard of it but haven’t run into it. these engines are getting older anything can happen

    Gen 2 alternator on a Gen 1?

    gen 2 ls alternator is not internally regulated. the gen 2 s-type is it has genmon and gencom. field command and monitor signal are a similar strategy to gen 1. go wire it in and try, it’s certainly better than the visteon piece of shit in a gen 1

    Car Wizard

    the guys in coventry were hard at work changing it around, the JV6 is completely different from the heads up. jag and ford were locked in an eternal struggle with buckets vs roller followers.
