    Saga of P2110 and P2107

    Back story, I had taken the car in for transmission work. Got the trans rebuilt and they said that they couldn't get it to shift right so they changed out the PCM. It took them several PCMs and a new set of keys to get it working. Had to take it back because the traction control light was on...

    Tranny Fixed...but

    Finally bit the bullet and had my trans done on my 03 LS (V8). 5 Days in the shop shifts well enough a little vibration starting off in 1st,2nd,3rd. Only 300 miles on it so far. The shop had to replace my PCM due to it shifting incorrectly. Now my ABS light is on and so is traction control. I've...

    2003 Lincoln LS 3.9 V8 Coolant leak question

    Need some help from the Lincoln guru's. I have a coolant leak and it seems that it is behind the thermostat housing and under the throttle body. My question is there a hose that runs through there or is it known for the rear housing for the thermostat to develop a leak? Also how much of a pia to...

    Developing Problems on my '03 LS

    Hello All, Starting to feel a little bummed about my purchase of my 03 LS. Almost wish I had my 95 MK VII back. Started off with the CEL on, cleaned the MAF sensor. It did have a lot of crud in it plus a bug wing. Cleared the code and CEL stayed off for about 150 miles. Now it is back on. Had...

    Now an Owner of a 03 LS

    Hello All, I used to post in the Mark VIII section. Now I will be posting in the LS section now. My VIII was a great ride but it was falling apart at the seams. At trade in time it had 252,000 miles, if the tranny wasn't slipping I may have kept it. But behind her back I was looking at LS's to...

    MK VIII owner looking

    You may think I'm in the wrong section, but not. I'm just trying to get a idea on the reliability of the LS. I bought my 95 MK VIII with 170M on it and now have 251M. Sure I've had to do some repairs @ 17 years somethings do break. Overall it has been a great car for $2000. Which year would be...

    Problem after blown lower ball joint

    I blew out the lower ball joint Monday week ago. Luckily I have just got into the parking lot and was getting ready to back in when it went. Any way had it towed home. The guy had to use the tow bar that cradled the front tires. I turned off the air ride switch in the trunk because he said that...

    Tried Oven Method :(

    I tried the oven method on my Gen 1. I preped the unit by taking off all of the adjusters, level and the little plug on the bottom. Then I drilled out the six spots where the snap fit should have been. Then I tried 300 preheat then 20 min. with no success. So next I upped the temp to 400 for 20...

    No Door Ajar Message

    I have a problem, but I don't think it is in the doors. I've tried the WD-40 trick. The first morning driving to work in the dark I hit a bump in the road and my interior lights came on and would not go off. Unless I made a left hand turn, as soon as I came out of the turn they would come back...
