Sorry, I always seem to forget to detail what I have. It's a Gen II V6. I was overly optimistic about the missing when cold being resolved. It's still a problem. All replaced parts were motorcraft parts except for the gaskets which were VICTOR REINZ. Fuel is 93 octane. I appreciate the...

So I've been dealing with this for months and making no progress. I started with P0401 (EGR) and occasionally it would miss when cold (or I perceived it as missing - it would run poorly on cold mornings). I replaced the EGR (and DFPE). Fault returned. I replaced the PVC. Fault returned...

I'll start by saying that I don't understand how a brake booster works. Is there a check valve or something that wasn't allowing the brake booster to release the vacuum when the pressure (my foot) was let off?

Thanks for the quick response. I disconnected the brake pedal from the booster rod and the pedal moves freely but the brake booster rod is "in" about 1/2 inch. It seems to be what was holding the pedal in the down position (and why the brake light is on). The rod is connected to the brake...

I have a 2004 LS with the V6. The car is stuck in my driveway with the brakes on. I pushed the brake pedal down to shift into gear and the pedal didn't come back up all the way and the car won't move. The brake lights are on too. I don't think this is not a parking brake issue or a...

I didn't check for codes. It broke right before I was going to work so I didn't do a whole lot of troubleshooting. I'll look at the fuse and fuel pressure when i get home. I'm, skeptical that it is an electrical issue because of how it sounds when turning over (although it typically starts...

I drove my LS yesterday with no problems. I tried to start it this morning and it would not start. It is cranking, but sounds almost like it is freewheeling. I had a similar sound in an old Ford that had a belt driven crank that broke, so just the bottom end of the engine was spinning...

I didn't connect the shift linkage up to the valve body when the valve body was re-installed. All works fine now. I have the shop manual and it doesn't mention this anywhere. The hardest part of the job is removing the solenoid connector. You MUST have a stubby 3" ratcheting 10 mm wrench (...

I did the valve body, using the orange transgo kit, - based on the parts I removed, it looks like someone else already did the valve body but I did it again anyway. I replaced the EPC reliefs, the OD Servo control (yellow) springs, and the RS ISA Select (green) spring. I removed and...

So I did everything and now it won't go in drive. Reverse is fine, but when I put the gear selector in any forward gear, nothing happens (like it's in neutral). I thought I found a post in the forums where it is east to mis assemble something during this process, but I can't find it now. If...

It's been a while for me since I posted this, but I am now finally getting around to doing this. I'm not doing the servo replacement, so I don't think I have any real need to remove the transmission. Is it true that I can install the transgo kit without removing the valve body? I've read from...

Push the pin, then pull it out. Not intuitive, but that's how it works.

It looks like the kit may come with the relief valve, correct? Does the kit have instructions or do I need to read the shop manual? Dale

I'm getting ready to dive into my trans per the process in this post- http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=80761 The thread above is for the 5R55N, so I don't need to do the Main Pressure Regulator Spring, but I do need to replace the Line Pressure Relief Valve. For me, the...

Good practice, but not required. Yea, your right. Once you let it out with th drain plug, it's impossible to refill.:confused: I'm done.
