I dont mean to come off as an A$$ hole, but.... I take it none of you have ever driven a manual trans vehicle before? Now before you go "wait this guys is an idiot, this isnt a manual!?!" let me explain. If you have EVER driven a manual trans vehilce before, and you attempt to down shift, or...

you can remove the pins from the conector with a terminal tool (specialty tool shops will have them). But for whats its worth just put a zip tie through the slot were the clip broke and around the connector on the injector. these guys break ALL of the time and thats usualy the fix for them.

No dip stick on the trans. To check the level, run the car, let it reac op-temp, lift the vehicle so you can go under it but besure the car is still LEVEL! With the engine still running unscrew the hex plug on the top right corner of the trans, fluid should run out and be level with the bottom...

could very well be the thermostat being that the LS uses a wax stat..... BUT, in reality the most common cause of this is actually a faulty overflow cap. On the LS (t bird and s type also) the over flow cap acts as your "radiator cap" it is designed to hold 15psi.... if it is leaky and the...

I havent been around the forums in a while... and i was amazed to see that this thread has been brought back up after a year! I ended up getting that turbo repaired and rather than using it... i purchased a larger turbo that would be more suitable for the ls, i came up with a new game plan...

The LS has a feature where it will adjust the volume depending on vehicle speed...... so, the radio harness has your vss wire in it.... which also goes to the cruise unit. chances are this wire got shorted out, or connected to something accidentaly...... but, id think that this would effect your...

Actually there has always been an oil/water cooler on the 3.9. If you look at the filter housing you can see the black cooler before the filter with a send/return hose going to the radiator. to the left of the housing is the oil pressure transducer. It has always been like that. The lines you...

I hope no one takes any offense to this, but i found it to be pretty funny.

Don't remember the part number.... but dont worry..... easy fix.... take off the door panel, drill 3 rivets, put in 3 new rivets... you're ready to go......... but yeah, i felt like an ass rolling down my window and reaching outside to open my door when it happened to me

It works off of a pump very similar to your power steering pump. If you look under the hood you will see a resivoir on either side of the engine, the passenger side is the fan, and the drivers side is the power steering. Both opperate off of power steering fluid.
