Well, it's beyond my skills to do that, not sure she wants to sink that much money into it or not.

Well, for anyone who's interested, the car was diagnosed as having slipped timing. Not sure what is going to happen to the car now.

It's definitely confusing me as well. If I try to start it long enough with the throttle down, I can smell fuel, probably after 8-10 seconds. It will usually sputter once as if it's trying to start, but then just crank. When I did the fuel pump I put fresh 92 octane gas in, and I checked that...

Readings are : Cylinder 1 : 180 Cylinder 2 : 190 Cylinder 3 : 175 Cylinder 4 : 185 Cylinder 5 : 170 Cylinder 6 : 165 Cylinder 7 : 170 Cylinder 8 : 165 I also re-checked that I was getting spark to each cylinder.

Thanks Joegr, gonna check in the morning

As far as I can tell, yes. I've got an Autoxray 5000, so it can only tell me so much. Forgot to mention the red light on the dash comes on when the key is turned to on, then goes off as I try to start it.

First, I wanna say I usually work on older GM cars, so some of the ways things are done on this car confused me ( Jet pump, cooling system, etc ). This website has had some great info to help me out while working on my friend's 2000 LS V8. It has a little over 115k on the odometer, replaced the...

Well, then, I feel like a doofus. My only point of comparison is my older cars, which would take awhile before dripping from condensation. Thanks. Since I bled it, temperature has been fine. Hopefully it just had an air bubble in it.

It's a very steady drip, probably 2-3 drops per second, but only when either the AC or heater is turned on. It starts as soon as it's turned on, and stops moments afterwards.

2001 LS V8. Working on a friend of mine's LS. Car ran hot one time, went into low power mode? pulled over, let it cool down, ran fine afterwards. Coolant needed to be added at the front of the motor, Degas? bottle by the windshield was normal level. During the bleeding process, I noticed...

Thanks for the quick replies ( even the sarcastic ones, I love sarcasm ). I had no idea about the rev limiter in Park or Neutral. I was definitely not looking forward to taking things back apart. Just took it for a test drive, runs smooth. Thanks again for the info ( and the tech section ), I'm...

Hi everyone, new member here. I don't own a Lincoln LS, just did some work on one for a friend of mine. Great info on the site. Had to replace the valve cover gaskets and one coil ( there was a LOT of oil in places ) and the writeup in the tech section was awesome. Everything is back together...
