Hello, What is a good, compatible code reader to use for a 2001 Lincoln Continental Premier Edition? And one that can be used with the engine off, Thanks.

Hello, a stupid question, I'm wanting to know how to do a primary resistance check on our coils and the specs for both the primary and secondary. Mine is 2001. I noticed when I checked the injectors, one prong showed a + positive. I didn't see this on the coils. Just wanting to know where to put...

Look up '89 Town Car upper ball joint on Advance and you'll see a picture of where the grease fitting area is on the Moog K8310 ball joint itself NOT THE BOX, it doesn't say "problem solver" and it's $103.99 then scroll down to the rare parts ball joint part number RP10237 and it's $57.99 and...

Ok, in the past this part and presently all other moog parts have the words "problem solver" on the part itself where the grease fitting is indicating a genuine MOOG part. BUT this part, number K8310 no such words are visible, showing me that it's not a MOOG part, if you look this part number on...

Looking for two Moog K8310 ball joints Must say "problem solver" on them, Thanks

I'm wanting to rebuild the front end using "problem solver" Moog parts. So far I found the bottom one: K8259 and the top K8310: @ $104 but the top one doesn't say problem solver and actually looks identical to the rare parts brand rp10237 @ $58 advanceautoparts.com I don't think its a Moog...

Thanks FlaOkie, I'll call the second locksmith back. He said he would do it for $200 cash.

Hello, a recap: I had lost the original keys for the '01, failed to drill out the ignition lock cylinder and had to replace the column that came with 2keys. In talking to one locksmith, he asks me if I have the original column he says he can save me some money by using the transceiver off of it...

Hello, In looking at pictures of the oil filter mounting adapter, it looks like the off center hole on the filter surface goes to the pump. Thanks for listening again

Thanks FlaOkie, Since just cranking has not brought the pressure up on the gauge, I'm going try to start it and see if the pressure comes up. Of course if it doesn't within 5 seconds I'll shut off. Then I will have to take the filter off and try to pump oil though the filter adapter.

Hello, To clear things up, I drained the oil back then, thinking the engine was froze after sitting for 10+ years in garage and that it needed new oil circulated. Which brings it to the present. Thinking about it, it's possible the pump is not primed (?) and only the filter is filled and that...

Hello, I've been working on a 2001 that been sitting for many years. I recently removed the oil sender, installed a T with a oil pressure tester and a barb fitting and pumped in oil, but when the gauge didn't move, I thought nothing happened and was prepared to remove the filter, and pump oil...

Thanks, num1bigguy. I just remembered before I started to crank, I forgot I had disconnected the crankshaft sensor and it wouldn't crank. It did crank only after I reconnected it. This seems odd to me because what does it have to with starting system? Thank in advance.

Thanks, FLaOkie

Update: Well, I finally tried to start it. It cranks, but won't start. The red dash light blinks. I guessing I will have to get the keys programmed?, OR maybe it has a code problem? Also, the instrument cluster says something like "rear suspension disabled", I did replace the rear suspension air...
