A very clean engine that indicates regular oil changes. Now don't wait until those plastic tensioners come apart. Yours are already dark in color which shows they are old. Here is an LS engine where the guy waited too long! Note the color of the plastic in the above picture and compare that...

Some them yes but we are still missing some critical parts that don't cross over from the Jaguar parts. Thankfully we do have those. . . .

The LS is a complete orphan and Ford has long since abandoned having anything to do with it. I would think deeply if you want to get into this. Do some research on all the plastic cooling parts that are simply not available. So then what do you do? I would get a different car and I loved my...

Cars don't come with service manuals? You need to purchase a service CD. Take a look at my link. It will be the best money you ever spend. . . .

Do you have a service manual so you can research and look stuff up? It's very handy! You provided no car info? Year and engine need to be posted? Here is a quick search and it returned 250+ entries. They are cheap at around $20. LS Shop Manuals . . .

It's an old car and it's up to you to repair it. No shop has any interest in a 25+ year old car. As posted above always start with the codes and go from there. Can you DIY this? Who replaced all the parts? . . .

Good luck and post back how it turns out. I think rebuilding what you have would be a better solution. . . .

Research the common problems and get those fixed first. The plastic in the cooling system is a big problem with many threads. Parts are now difficult to find. . . .

I would not attempt this without a shop manual. Do you have one? . . .

Only way to troubleshoot this is by checking for codes first. Otherwise it's all a guess. What scanner do you have? . . .

Good suggestion to get a shop manual first thing. Plenty on EBay in digital form. It will save you money! . . .

I would get a shop manual first. Plenty of them on EBay. Printed and on CD. Then I would concentrate on finding out the factory part number and see what you can find. Now with the age of the car you might only have used parts available or have to fix up something yourself. Can you DIY the...

As with all AC problems. Get a set of gauges on it and post back the hi and lo side pressures. With the age of the car you probably have low Freon for sure. You did not post how many miles but again your at the age where the car might need a new compressor. Or the fan is bad or both? But can...

Hard to say without any codes. Post back if you have more information. Maybe count the flashes on the red light as it maybe giving you a PATS code. Just a guess. . . .

Are you using ForScan? That is considered the best software for Fords. Maybe contact the place you got the PCM from? . . .
