2004 LS V8 with 71k miles. Car started this morning and ran for about 10 seconds before stalling. Now it cranks but won't start, but cranking does not sound normal - like no compression as if you were cranking with the spark plugs removed. Engine has been running fine with no unusual noises...

I have a 2004 LS V8 with 65k miles, it's recently started going into ECT failsafe mode intermittently (three times in four days). I know it's time for the coils to start going, I was wondering what experience people have had in getting them fixed under the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty? I'm...

Must be a price mistake, grab em quick - Amazon has Motorcraft WLR5 passenger rear window regulators for $23.61. Unfortunately the left side is still $58.

Battery gave out over the weekend after dealer closed. Only place I could find anything was Napa could order the proper group 66 battery for Monday, but they listed the group 65 as a replacement with modified venting. Only physical difference is the group 65 has vents at each end of the...

Has anyone tried these, or seen any actual test results? They're close to the top of the Tire Rack owner surveys, but not a lot of reviews in yet and I haven't found any head to head tests.

I know this came out a year ago for 2003 models, I just got the letter that my 2004 is now included in the 10 year / 100,000 mile coil warranty.

Ok, I'm getting the "replace air filter soon" message. The manual talks about a "replace AC (cabin) filter soon" message, but nothing about an air filter message. Is this the same message? I replaced the engine air filter a couple of months ago, and I checked the cabin filter and it's fine...

Has anyone seen this? http://www.disappearing-car-door.com/

Last weekend the check engine light came on, took it to the dealer to have it read and it was a code P0420, bank 1 catalytic converter low efficiency. They ran all the pinpoint tests and said it may need a converter, but the CEL didn't come back right away so they said to drive it for a while...

Has anyone else had problems with the seat backs breaking? In the past month the plastic backs to both of the front seats have fallen off. They just snap into place with plastic hooks, the hooks have sheared off both seats. I haven't even had anyone in the back seat, the only thing I can...

I know the early engine computers would go into an open loop mode at wide open throttle where they would ignore some feedback from O2 sensors, etc. and just use some mapped fuel curves. Is this still true, or have the emissions tightened up to the point where they run closed loop all the time...

2004 LS V8. I'm in bumper to bumper traffic, everyone stops for a car turning left. When traffic starts moving, the car doesn't want to go, feels like the commercial where the guy is dragging the big anchor. With the pedal about halfway to the floor engine winds up to about 3500 rpm but won't...

My transmission (2004 LS V8 sport) feels like it is dropping into neutral between shifts, you can see the RPM's spike up between gears. If you're on the gas a little bit, I get about a 1000 RPM spike before it thunks into gear pretty harsh. In SST mode shifts are firm and quick. It's...

Parts Express has the Tang Band 6x9 subs on sale, has anyone tried these? Hoping to find something that will fit in the stock location without too much extra work, I'm not willing to go to a trunk box. I know the efficiency isn't that great and would require replacing the stock sub amp...

Well, my 2004 V8 sport is back at the dealer for the fifth time in five months, here's a quick recap: 1) Pulling out into traffic, engine stalls. Starts right back up, will idle (very rough) but car won't go more than about 3mph. Codes for throttle position sensor, dealer replaces TPS and...

The service manager at your local dealership tried to tell you that the LS transmission was a 4 speed overdrive, and what they were calling fifth gear was really just the torque converter locking up?

Major problems with my 2004 LS V8 sport. Here's the history for those who haven't read the previous posts: 1) Died pulling out into traffic. Restarted and ran a couple hundred feet, then died again. Restarted, ran another couple hundred feet where I got off the road into a parking lot...

I bought a "premier certified pre-owned" 2004 LS V8 ultimate with 22,000 miles in October. It's now being towed back to the dealer for the fourth time. Same basic problem all four times, driving along and the engine quits running. It will restart, but will not stay running, car will not even...

I've had my 2004 LS V8 Ultimate for 3 months now, it just dropped dead for the third time. Same problem all three times, driving along and the engine just quits. It will restart, but will not stay running. First time they replaced the throttle position sensor & throttle body, second time they...

I need to pick up a scan tool, was wondering if anyone had suggestions. It looks like some of the tools come with their own PC software, others you download/buy the software separately? Some of the tools also talk about optional upgrade for Ford specific codes.
