This is your typical Ford V engine cylinder location: Front (belt side) 5 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 Rear (transmission side) From sitting inside the car, Bank 1 Right side, Bank 2 Left side.

Think "bank 1 cylinder 1". Bank 1 has always been the side with cylinder 1 in my experience. Good ole P0420. Common issue on Subarus. Have you have any trouble with misfiring (dead coils) in the recent past? (stupid question I know, it's an LS! Of COURSE it had misfires! :lol: ) If so...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Classic!

They work when they want to. They seem to work better at night or when the rain is really pouring down. Any other time, you might as well not have them on.

If you don't have anything constructive to add to the thread you should just leave.

Electronics DO NOT LIKE the voltage variations that are created by the alternator. Modern control systems need constant steady voltage in order to work properly. The battery is used to keep input voltage constant so that the regulation circuits on the control units don't overheat and burn out...

Never had a problem with my EBC red stuff pads. The rotors I got from them were nothing to write home about though. They made a ton of noise from day one, and the best EBC would do for me when I complained about them, was tell me to have them turned. EBC uses a break in coating on their pads...

Not so bad for the transmission but it's bad for everything else. 5000 miles of wear in 30 seconds... Ohh booyyy!!!!!!!!!! :lol: Sounds like dude was gonna choke

Alternator sounds like it's charging as it should. Have the battery tested. Do you have a multimeter?

Check for blown fuses before you go tearing things apart. There's one in the passenger kick panel fuse panel that does something with the fuel computer. I don't recall exactly which one it was though.

Glad to see this idea still going. I'll have to check back next weekend so I can vote. :)

You forget about your other cars! :p What's up erverybody? Haven't been on here in a lonnnnng time. Haven't had any trouble out of the Lincoln, actually haven't even driven it much since I picked up a 96 Subaru legacy beater to commute in. All of my spare time has been spent fixing that up to...

My STS was just as fast as my LS in a straight line. Might have been an older model with the 4.9.

Start around 500 and work your way progressively finer up to about 2000. You can go finer than that but if you just break out the plastic polish and a buffer the 2000 grit marks will be gone in nothing flat. Polycarbonate/plastic clear coat can be bought at just about any hobby shop or craft...

Whats weird about that? They've been putting antennas in windshields since like the 50s. They haven't been popular until recently because it was expensive and not very reliable.
