    I traded in my LS...

    I at least owe it to the community that I learned so much from to disclose what I replaced it with. http://i.imgur.com/AFEHJeq.jpg Going from a damned nice RWD V8 to an AWD turbo H4 isn't quite the usual progression here, but it's been a blast. Thanks so much for having the cleanest...

    FS: K&N FIPK Kit for 2nd gen LS 3.9L V8

    It was a good run, but it's time to retire my '03. Since I will be trading it, I returned it to the stock configuration. For sale is a K&N FIPK kit for any second gen LS 3.9L V8. SECOND GEN = 03 AND UP ONLY I have used this part for 10k miles. It has all the installation hardware, the heat...

    Interesting CEL code

    2003 LS8 I had a little situation recently where it behaved like a classic coil misfire situation ( Low throttle, low RPM roughness and hesitation, slow to start). After replacing all the COP's and plugs, the issue persisted. I really didn't have much to go on, so I ran it until I finally...

    Cylinder Numbering?

    I couldn't seem to find anything definitive on this via searching. Are the cylinder numberings on a '03 V8 as follows? Passenger side front to back 1-2-3-4 Driver side front to back 5-6-7-8 Reason I ask is the last time I had the warranty COP replacement I was almost out of warranty, now I...

    Coolant leak behind the engine - Can't locate it

    This is a 2003 V8. She started overheating on me and I noticed the upper hose was cracked and it had lost coolant. I replaced that, performed a coolant flush/fill/purge and after testing 10 minutes at a time or so it seemed to be good. On the way home yesterday, I heard the fan go high...

    I generally assume that all skips/rough runs/etc are coil related, how about this?

    2003 V8 http://youtu.be/keonIBxmYpQ I am getting a bit of a rough run/skip at a VERY specific RPM range and throttle position. I narrated the video in case the camera shaking wasn't indication enough. I initially picked up on this little issue when cruising about 50 MPH(~1700 RPM), since...

    Dealing with my sunroof/A pillar leak for the second time

    how do you make this little bastard stay put? The obvious problem appears to be that the hose shrunk up and I had to really give it hell with pliers to go back on its nipple. Hose clamp maybe? http://i.imgur.com/0aEVZ.jpg linked for table breakage

    Rear end clunk when downshifting from 3-2

    Did a search and didn't see anything definitive. I have an 03 V8 luxury sport with 95k. Not all the time, but sometimes, I can hear a definite clunk in the rear end when the car downshifts from 3 to 2 ( usually, but sometimes 2-1 ) that sounds a lot like a U joint. I was able to duplicate...

    Headlights/Ambient light sensor: Where to start

    I've noticed that, in my '03 Luxury Sport, even on broad daylight, the headlamps are on all the time, the taillights are on, the LCD displays in the instrument cluster are dimmed, as well as the backlight staying on. Is that usually a fault in the ambient light sensor on the dash? Possibly a...

    Exhaust advice: Unsure which way to go '03 V8

    I've spent the last few days scouring this board and Youtube trying to decide on an exhaust solution that will fit what I am going for. A few things I have learned include: '03's(possibly) have a different X pipe setup than the others. The Magnaflow kit doesn't really improve performance...

    Strange Climate control behavior. Temperature sensor maybe?

    I've already combed through the stickies and this doesn't seem to fit the common DCCV issue described therein. The temperature control on my '03 LS has gone a bit wonky, and I'd like to get some ideas on where to start. Basically, if you set it on a middle of the range temperature (...

    I have GOT to be overthinking this...

    I didn't see a thread for short questions so here goes.. How do you get to the reverse light bulbs on an '03 LS?

    The day I was dreading has come. 03 LS8 skipping

    I figured this day would come to pass eventually, but I am not 100% sure how to tackle it. I have a 2003 Lincoln LS ( V8 ) with 80k miles. It has run like a top since the day I got it, but I started having a little skip at certain times that has now manifested itself into a problem. For...

    New guy. Hiya!

    Stumbled upon this forum looking for what may have caused a leak in my LS, and the information was dead on. Nice forum you got here. 2003 Lincoln LS8 Luxury Sport package. Hot cars can be like hot women, fun but temperamental as hell :D
