Did you jack the car up at all? There is a fuel pump reset switch on the 2001 under the dash above the brake petal. Its supposed to turn off your fuel pump due to any type of accident or "jolt". If I jack up one side of the car and let it down too quickly I have to reset the fuel pump or the car...

How much of the bolt is sticking out? I'm assuming you couldnt get in there with a pair of needlenose pliers and turn the broken bolt out? If you had to drill it out I would think you could use tape to cover the area so no metal shaving end up going down the spark plugs. You can tell if the VCGS...

I'm at about 124k miles.. Don't get me wrong, I love my LS. It's just an expensive car and the problems seem to be never ending. I've replaced lower control arms, balljoints, all 8 coils, front rotors, front hub assembly, outer tie rods, and I still have to replace the inner tie rods, and the...

Yeah probably so but I believe the wheel bearing was starting to go bad as well because on turns I started hearing a loud whirring sound which is now also gone. The hub assembly was only $115 though which isnt too bad. I wasn't planning on buying a new rotor though, but thats was only $55 and...

Finally fixed the problem.. I replaced the hub assembly today and the ABS light finally went off. I'm not sure if the sensor or the wheel bearing were the problem though. Once I got the rotor off I noticed there was a rusty whole about the size of a gold dollar on the back of it. I wonder if...

Thanks for all the replies. I'll head over to autozone and pick up a hub assembly today and see if that solves the issue. I hope it does because I have to pass inspection.

If i were you I'd go with the ones in the link below. A lot of people have had good experiences with COPs from alanisdeals. I installed them around a year ago and havent had any issues since...

I brought the car to my mechanic and he hooked up his scanner. It said the right front speed sensor wasn't giving a reading. He said that meant the sensor was bad and needed to be replaced but his solution was to replace the hub assembly. Thats why I thought I had to clean the sensor ring. I...

Okay thanks. I cleaned the sensor then and it didnt fix to problem so I guess I have to replace it. Is there any way to test the sensor to see if its operating correctly? Maybe with a multimeter to test voltage? I tried and was able to get 12v at the connector before the speed sensor but...

The same thing happened to me not that long ago. The engine would turn over but not start and I couldnt figure out why. After a while I started to smell gas and figured it was the fuel pump. There is a fuel pump reset switch under the dash on the drivers side (at least on the 2001). Try...

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it. I tried to take the sensor ring off to clean it but there is no star shaped screw on my sensor so I'm confused on how to remove it from the hub? I brought my car to a local mechanic and he hooked up his scanner which said that the front right speed...

I have a 2001 Lincoln LS V8. My traction control and abs lights are on and im pretty sure its probably a sensor. I tried to clean them today but couldn't figure out how to get them off. Anyone done it before and can tell me how? Do I have to take the brake calipers and rotors off to get the...

i had an annoying whistling sound as well. it took me forever to find it but it turns out that it was the crankcase ventilation hose. the connector broke somehow and was letting air leak from the hose. I just replaced it and problem solved.

Its a 2001. If the radio is already on Vol does not appear on the display...it only appears when I try to turn up the volume. Yes i can change the presets with the steering wheel controls. Yes I can change the presets with the buttons on the radio. The problem seems to have gone away. I'm sure...

Broke? I really hope not. I was hoping there was something I was overlooking.. I know i'm turning it right..i've had the car for over 2 years. I even took the knob off and just turned the metal connection...nothing changed. What I don't unerstand is that "Vol" is still displayed just none of...

Hey guys.. the car has been running pretty well since I replaced the vcgs and the coils until now. I can't listen to any music!! It's :q:q:q:qin terrible! Started my car yesturday and turned on the radio and nothing. Turning the knob for the volume does nothing. Normally when you turn the...

Just installed mine two days ago and I received the same crap from alanisdeals. I went with them after reading posts on here where people said they were good. Everything that 02LincLS said is exactly what I experienced with my coils. They don't look new at all..they're all scratched up and the...

Has anyone here replaced their inner and outer tie rods? I'm thinking about doing it myself but not really sure how hard it'll be. I've always tried to stay away from messing with the steering and what not because I figure a mistake in that area would end up being pretty dangerous. Has anyone...

Has anyone bought ignition coils from per4mance_part$ on ebay? they've got 8 available for 149.95 with a "2 year No Hassle Warranty". I've been reading this forum for a couple weeks and i noticed a lot of people have tried and like alanis coils but just thought I'd ask about these. Also has...
