So for the past week my car has been idling really rough when cold in the morning. After the care warms up it calms down but still has a rough idle. I ran the codes and I got a 171 and another code (I don't have that information with me since I'm at work right now). Anyway...... one the...

I have replaced the thermostat in the LS and it seems to be leaking around the bottom of the housing. I'm sure its the right thermostat as I have taken it back twice thinking it was bad. When I took a closer look there is a slight gap in the bottom of the housing but everything its tight as can...

I was wondering which coils everyone on here uses on their vehicles? I'm gathering up the parts for a springtime maintenance weekend and was on RockAuto pricing them out. I've always used Bosh Platinum spark plugs so I'm going to stick with those. When I got the car a year ago it had new coils...

I have a friend that's looking to purchase a 2000 LS and its will not start. I have gone through all the fuses and relays first then I changed out the fuel pump and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what can be done next. Also I will add that after changing the fuel pump the car did...

I was wondering if anyone else was having a similar problem with their heat as I do. I have to ride around for a few minutes before the heat will start to blow hot. I have to set the temp to 90 and its takes a good 15 minutes before you can start feeling the warm heat coming out of the vents. I...

So my car over heated the other day and engine went into protect mode. I ran the codes on it and I got 1299 so I went and changed the thermostat. Bleed the system and the temp is now steady and car is running fine. Thing is now the heat isn't working the way it should be. I think I'm going to...

So yesterday a guy contacted me about purchasing my 2001 LS and came out to look at it. He came out and I explained the issues it had when I brought it and what I had done to fix it. Then I explained to him what I was going to do if I was to keep it which was the plugs, coils and possible...

Took my ride and got the windows tinted and I love the results. VA is 50 front and 35 in the rear but not as dark as I would like it but I will avoid getting tickets. LoL Time to put some water on it and shine it up now......... #luvinmyls

So when I jump in the LS to go for a cruise everything starts off just fine. After driving for a while the temp gague will slowly climb up and then go back down to normal but never over heats. Every since fixing the transmission this has been happening but when the tranny was messed up it would...

So I brought my car with the transmission problem so I have never driven it on the interstate. Well after working on the tranny and replacing the 4-3 stroke valve spring tonight was the night. Man it rides like a dream and has some good get up. Next is to do the plugs and coils to see what else...

So I was in the process of swapping out my transmision and noticed some antifreeze leaking from the bellhousing. Needless to say I had the wrong transmission so I have to wait till tomorrow to finish the job. Now my thinking is to take off the flywheel and check teh freeze plug behind it. I...

I was changing out my transmission today and I think I'm screwed. The bellhousings are different but both came out of V8 vehicles I was told. The tags on the side of the trannys state 160 (out of my car) and the one I purchased states 150 (purchased). Here are a few pics. In the second pic...

So I went to a guys house to purchased the reman'd transmission and I look around his garage and he has 3 transmissions there. He tells me about his friend that has a 2002 LS and the trouble he has been having with it. Changed out the tranny twice to come to find out he was having electrical...

So I took my car to the transmission shop today and the dude just pi***d me off by telling me the tranny was shot and I needed a rebuild costing $2600. Hell I only paid $2k for the darn thing. Anyway found a guy with a remaned one he brought for his car but sold the car before he could put it...

So I finally registered my 2001 LS that I brought last week and driving it home today it started over heating. I noticed the heat was blowing cold and then when I stopped the water was bubbling and so on. I imediately thought thermastat so I went out and brought one. When I got to my dads house...

Just wanted to drop a line to say what's up to the board and I'm new to the group. Just brought me a 2001 LS last week and I can't wait to get her on the road. Been doing a lot of reading here and I'm getting some good ideas. Don't want to register it until I get the coolant flushed and...

I'm new to this forum and would like to say hello to everyone. I just purchased a 2001 LS the other day and I am looking forward to getting some good information from this site. I got some good information relating to the 2 codes I pulled off the diagnostics check (P0795&P1299) so I know how to...
