Hello! Replaced the fuel injectors on my '02 LS V8 this weekend and managed to snap the vacuum hose that goes between the intake manifold and the throttle body on the passenger side. The shop manual calls it an "air assist line", and after finding it online I see that it's discontinued...

This year has been the year of fun and money pit action with the LS. Earlier this Fall I had all of the frontend suspension replaced. But I still had a bad shimmy in the front end between 75 - 85 MPH. I took it back to that shop and they balanced the front wheels. Said each wheel was right about...

First, I want to mention that I've searched through the existing AdvanceTrac threads on here, and am still not quite sure what's up with my car. '02 Lincoln LS V8 120k miles, and I just had a whole array of front-end suspension components replaced this week: new upper and lower control arms on...

Fun times. I had to have the windshield replaced on my '02 LS. Safelite did the replacement, and what a mess. The compass reads exactly 90 degrees counter clockwise now. And I just noticed this weekend that my rain sensing wipers no longer work. They came out the week before last to replace the...

Fuel pump gave out on my 02 V8 the other day and had to have it towed to the dealership. They called me with a quote of $1390 today! Claimed that the pump itself is $600 and then the rest in labor, because they have to drop the tank. I thought these cars were designed such that the pump could...

My 2002 LS (V8) has a weird starting issue. Sometimes I'll have to crank it for a good 5 seconds to get it to start. Other times it will actually fire up prematurely. What I mean there is that it starts within half a second of me turning the key, and when this happens, it kind of sputters to a...

So, I'm about to take a road trip across the country in my 2002 Lincoln LS. Decided it was time to have them check out a noise coming from the frontend. It's a very minor noise, and you only hear it over bumps while going slowly. Sounded like the sway bar link to me. But, I decided to take it to...

I've read multiple threads with one poster saying one thing, and another saying something different. I know that the definitive answer for a Gen II is 921. However, are the reverse bulbs for a Gen I really 3157, or are they 921 as well? I would just go out and pull mine now to know for sure...

OK, so we're in the middle of a heatwave and I don't think my A/C is doing a good enough job. Today when I was driving home it was 99 outside, and my car was probably a good 120 when I got in. I have a good 15 minute drive, and it was still friggin' hot in it when I got home. I found an...

So I ordered these off of V-LEDs a couple of weeks ago, and they are too long to fit the license plate housing on my 2002 LS. http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/CornerSide-Marker-LED/White-LED/2-WHITE-5K-SMT-HIGH-POWER-p6985865.html Which ones are you Gen 1 guys ordering that actually fit...

I've got a 2002 and am looking at doing the interior LED conversion. Sylvania's site says the dome and map lights are 168, Alax says they're 194 in his post, and my 2002 LS Owner's Guide says they are 212. 194 and 168 are pretty similar, but 212 is a completely different bulb (festoon I...

One of my rear deck stock subs is blown, so I'm going to replace both with some CDT CL-69 6x9's. Is a monoblock amp fine for these, or should I be lookin at a multichannel amp? Here are the specs on the 6x9's: Power Handling: 100Watt RMS/200Watt Music. (100Hz high pass) Frequency...

I have an '02 Premium with the 6-disc Alpine system and rear subs in the deck with factory amp. Yes, I've done a lot of searching, but have run across many differing opinions. One of the rear deck speakers blew, and I'm getting tired of the rattling. What speakers would everyone suggest...

Been a while since I posted on here, but I've got a few questions about my car. It's a 2002 V8 with about 33,500 miles on it. When I first got it, I noticed that oil was leaking out around the oil-filler tube in the driver's side valve cover. I figured that the o-ring gasket for the tube was...

I've read a lot of the previous posts on overheating, but nothing seemed to match up with what I experienced yesterday. I got in my car after it had been sitting overnight, started it up, and drove to my friends house less than a mile away. Picked him up and started heading down the road. I...

The title pretty much says it all. What's the name of the tool used to test the coils on an LS? I don't have a CEL yet, and I've not seen the CEL flash when accelerating, but I have an itching suspension that one is going bad. My MPG has dropped, and the car feels like the transmission is...

I got my rear shocks replaced this weekend. It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. It took me and a buddy about an hour to do the first side, and 30 minutes to do the other side. I bought a unibody jack adapter for the job, and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to...

Right where the driveshaft is bolted to the tailshaft, is there anything that's lubricated there? I was under my car the other day, and there's some kind of oil that's been spun against the underside of the floor boards there right where those two pieces connect at the guibo. The liquid is not...

OK, so the lengthy title pretty much says it all. :) I'm wanting to know what the labor hours (as in what a shop/dealership has on the books for the job) are for replacing the rear shocks on an LS, plus a 4-wheel alignment. Thanks.
