Talk of a new Engine/Head/Car is kinda silly guys, that is not a solution to such a simple and silly problem. I was asking if anyone has any experience and if they can offer some suggestions based on that. As it stands I am going to get the Time Sert kit and give it a go.

Well, it is all kinda in the title. I blew a spark plug in my 2002 LS v6, destroyed the coil and stripped the threads in the head. I was doing some research and came across helicoil and time sert, but one thing I am sure is that with so many options I have no idea which is the smartest route to...

I attached two pictures of where the hose connected between. I Also looked up the p/n of the solenoid and it comes back as an "EVAP BYPASS VALVE".

On my 2002 Lincoln LS v6 I recently failed NYS emissions inspection due to the system not being ready, despite doing over 1000 miles since changing a battery. So I went to do some inspections of my own under the hood and found that a hose which runs from the back of the intake manifold - via a...

Great suggestion. I did it and positivly found the IAC to be the culprit! I already ordered a new motocraft branded one! Why would you ask that?

Allow me to clarify. In both videos I was braking pretty hard and completely off the throttle. When braking I was straining against a revving engine... as if I was still on the throttle. If I let go of the throttle and idle at 20mph the car keeps revving and gaining speed. The second video is...

Here are two video I took of my tachometer illustrating the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=725Pbf86VaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IthI1C9YNh4 Also, I noticed that there is a small adjustment screw on the throttle body. Is that something that I can/should try adjusting?

That was the first thing I checked. When I let go of the pedal it immediately lets go of the TB. The only thing I did was take off the TB and cleaned it up as well as changed its gasket, did do anything else besides the IAC.

So I have an '02 LS v6 with 73,xxx. I recently completed a top end overhaul with new: Valve Cover Gaskets Lower and Upper Intake Gaskets IMT Gasket All New PCV Components New Belt and Idler New IAC Valve New TPS New MAF Sensor New Plugs One New Coil At first when I started the car after...

Thanks for all the tips guys. So I wedged a flat crowbar between the damper and the tensioner together with a buddy I was able to follow the torquing procedure. Using the flat crowbar allowed me to apply force without compromising the torque readings. So all done, thanks!

I am trying to tighten the crank bolt pulley on my V6 3.0, but the engine starts turning before I reach the correct torque. I tried putting the belt on but it still slips. Any ideas on how to hold the engine so that I can tighten it?

Anyone have p/n's for replacing the elbow and pcv?

On my '02 LS v6 I pulled off my intake manifold and the lower intake and there is an elbow which connects to the manifold, and is connected to a little box which is bolted between the manifold ports. Attached is a picture, any idea what it is? Should I replace any parts of it since I already...

Well there is nothing to suggest a warped head, the engine ran fine before the teardown (minus the misfires due to a bad coil and MAF), and I never lost too much oil on the dipstick... The body is so-so without considering the damage, interior is clean, suspension has some sag and bottoms out...

Some background, this is my mothers '02 LS V6, I got it for her like 7 years ago off a repossession auction for dirt cheap ($2k) and at the time it had around 40,000 miles. Today it has just over 70,000 and my dear brother got swiped and damaged both the drivers side front and rear door...

Aha, got it. And there is enough clearance between the pulley and the radiator?

I have the entire intake manifold off and cannot see the crank clearly, I have the cooling hoses coming from the top of the radiator and the hoses coming out of the top of the block that are in the way. What exactly is the 'secondary cooling bracket'? Also, I tried looking at it from beneath the...

Thanks, I have done one before a Jeep. I am looking for some info on doing on this LS, I don't intend on removing anything I don't have too including the coolant hoses etc. not looking for too much extra work :).

So I am midway into repairing a bad leak in my '02 LS v6 valve covers when I noticed quite a bit of oil spray around the crank pully. A little research tells me that it is not to complicated of a repair. A new seal from the dealer is around $9. Question is what does it take to get it done...
