I've got a mindfreak going on with my 97 LSC. It spends a lot of time sitting, sometimes weeks at a time. The past couple of drives have gone like this: -Start car. Take a 5min "dust off" drive around the neighborhood. Park it. -Start car 10-15min later, take it on the joyride I intended...

Symptoms; Needle doesn't move. In the weeks before, it would occasionaaly drop dead for a second or less, them pop back to life. Cruise control works, all the other gauges work, everything hanging out the side of the transmission looks good. So... Is this something just inside the speedometer...

1997 LSC, needs a brake line. This one comes out of the ABS Control module and goes to the drivers front wheel. Anybody know how i can find one of these? Thanks Eric

1997 LSC, 103k mi. Just had ball joints done 8 months ago, and shortly after this noise came up. It's gotten slowly worse, though I've only driven it 2000mi this year. -It sounds like metal on metal, with a grinding kind of sound, like a threaded bolt sliding in and out of a hole. Almost like...

This is my first car with HIDs. I noticed when I turn them on, they flare up, very bright, then they fade back to fairly dim... then fade UP to their normal intensity. Is this a sign of dying lights? Is it a failure in the light/ballast, or a controller somewhere? Seems like it's specific to...

This may come as a surprise to few, but I thought it was worth sharing. I had a squeal coming from up front, the belt was ruled out, so I figured I'd start with the two cheapenst pullies. I pulled off the idler and the tensioner assembly.... the pullies looked really similar, so I pulled...

I'm using my Rad'Shack tape adapter to listen to my Ipod in my 97. This morning it got "confused" and tried to flip the tape, which doesn't spool backwards. Is there a button or anything to get it to flip back to the other side? The manal for this car is nowhere to be found, search came back...

GenII: Changed the alternator today, and decided these big black nuts that hold the "Intech" cover on looked ugly. My paint was flaking off and exposed he corroded aluminum underneath, so I tossed them into the chuck of my drill and ran them over some sandpaper; 220gr and 320gr at low speed...

I poked around the interwebs and found a great thread, so I thought I'd put it here under the above title, to make it a bit more easy to find using the search function. I may undertake this job on my Gen2 this week, if I don't chicken out and take it to a shop. I'll update with what I find...

I like playing with tire sizes, and apparently this is frowned apon by the car. Can this feature be disabled entirely?

The Oil Pan in my Gen2 seems to have a large parasite on the passenger side, behind the starter. I see/feel no lines going into it, doesn't seem to be connected to the innards of the oil pan.

Some of you may have seen my no-start thread here: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=82113 Well, I pulled the door skin to inspect the wiring, and when I put it back in, I noticed there was a clicking under the passenger dash, similar to a turn signal click. It stops...

Yesterday, the car started right up and ran fine. Today, I get a "chunk chunk chunk", but no sustained effort to turn the motor. When I turn the key off and remove it, everything inside the car stays on: data center, accessory button lights, I can cycle the windows and locks from either seat...

No fair: http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-98-LINCOLN-MARK-VIII-LSC-4-6L-V8-PASSENGER-SIDE-MASTER-POWER-WINDOW-SWITCH-/150779565435?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMark+VIII&hash=item231b29957b&vxp=mtr I've seen those, and wood shift knobs for Gen 2 Mark VIII's. Were these for...

Polished headlights always fog back up, I was wondering if anyone has tried coating them with something to protect the oldass plastic from oxidization? Be it spray Polyurethane or a marine coating.

Mine snapped off the pivot boss. I've got that fixe, I've got the spring and all the parts, I just need to figure out how the spring winds up, how to get this all put back together so it works. Anyone have a pic of the inside hinge showing the spring? it's a long shot!

My drivers seat has some asymmetrical foam: The left side bolster pushes in and the left side lays nearly flat. This makes for an uncomfortable ride, and I'd like ot pull the skin and massage flat the buggered up bolster, or cut a new foam peice for the left side.

Looking at this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120853882674?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Is that pretty much everything needed to swap into a 97 LSC, apart from a tune and EGR? Looks like I can get just the manifold and IMRCs from Corral for $300, that ebay ad would really...
