I have an 02 Lincoln LSE V6 with 104k miles. The ac has been giving me trouble. It will blow hot for a while, then make a hissing noise, and start blowing cold. It is not a gradual cool down by any means. The transition from hot to cold sometimes takes 2 minutes from start up and other times 20...

I have converted my hydraulic cooliing system to electric (thanks to lsmonk for all of the help!) and am now dealing with some pump noise. I tried to search regarding how much shorter belt I needed to bypass the pump altogether. Does anyone have a part number or length off of a belt they used...

I have a 2002 V6 LSE with about 58k miles on it. I drove to my parents house from work the other day ( about 30 miles) and the car was running fine- got home parked it, and then washed it about an hour later. When I started it up to drive it after washing it I had a check engine light on. I took...
