So I have a 2000 V8 that I'm having some similar issues with. Since I've had it I've had weak heat on idle with more heat upon acceleration. I replaced the aux pump with no improvement. This summer I was driving with a passenger and they noticed hot air coming from the passenger side and I had...

Can you PM them to me? Or will it scale that too?

When I zoom in they're blurry :(

I assumed it wouldn't have changed but I've been wrong many times before. It's a 2000 so gen 1

Does anyone have the pin outs for the abs module? I'm trying to go by the procedure in post #4. the procedure in alldata that I have is in a different order and the pin numbers are different, however the wire colors are the same...

I guess I was expecting there to be a connection under the dash. Looks like I'll have to get some longer test probes.

Sorry to revive such an old thread but I'm having the same issue, light is on and advancetrac message. Code c1277, and I've tried cleaning the sensor and even replacing it with one from a junkyard. I'm not 100% sure if the junkyard one is good or not, but I'd rather not just keep changing out...

I have 188k on my 2000. Just did the timing chains and tensioners but everything else is original

Lincoln vs Cadillac

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having issues with mine. The glass was replaced(before I owned it) and hasn't worked since. I popped the sensor off and took off the two clear gel like squares, rinsed them in water and put it all back together and it still doesn't work. I can see the orange...

Just did this on my 2000 with over 180k. Great pictures!

This really isn't that bad of a job. I just had my VCs off when I did the timing chains and now that I've done it once, I wouldn't pay anyone to do it. The driver side is more work than the passenger side, but luckily I did the passenger side first which was a confidence booster. I took lots of...

Nope no insults here, I appreciate all of the feedback. I'll admit the first time I did not check the slip fit and that was a big part of the mistake resulting in that shredded seal. I did check it on the new seal and I would say it's more snug than a traditional slip fit, but I didn't have to...

I ordered it through Christopher's foreign parts, same place as all the parts/seals for the timing chain replacement. I did lube the area and I almost think it made it worse and allowed it to slide more. If there was a lip on the seal it would be so much easier. Good thinking on the 4.2 forums...

Well I believe I figured out the issue. Looks like the crank seal got pushed too far back into the timing chain and never really sealed around the harmonic balancer. This led to a tiny bit of oil to cone out. Just enough to see some wet areas, but never enough to leave a drop on the floor. So...
