    PATS or complete death? Solved

    Makes sense, but when the gremlins run wild, who knows... Lol. Thank you for the clarification. I may need to pick up a copy of that. I'm sure I can use it with my 06 powerstroke as well.

    PATS or complete death? Solved

    You mean the PATS part of the key is dead and that's what's not allowing it to start? Interesting. My LS has been sitting a year plus because it started doing similar things to me... was going down the road and it just shut off (at 70 mph...) got about every imaginable light on the dash, plenty...

    Hello Everyone

    That's absolutely fantastic that someone took the time to make one out of metal and not that cheap shit plastic garbage the others have been made from. As far as strength goes, the cooling system is only under what, 15 psi? That's basically nothing. If you want to see if the tank is in good...

    Newer Vehicles ARE Monitoring Your EVERY Move

    Man I'm with you on that... I too hope I'm not too old to fight as well. Although I don't think it's going to be that far into the future. 2024 most likely.

    2001 LS V8 does it have the DATC Test tools?

    Been a while since I've been on here being my 06 is out of service... but... Couple of questions. when you drive, are you gentle on it, or do you do semi-regular 6500 RPM pulls? Reason I ask is if the engine never gets any speed in it, the water pump, main one, may or may not shove enough...

    Sad day, but maybe a silver lining.

    Oh that's much better. Oddly, I have the manual for my 2000 LS, it was was not laid out this simply. Thank you.

    Sad day, but maybe a silver lining.

    Fair question, but based on the codes, and how it died, and my experience with electronics, I'm taking an educated guess. It honestly behaves like a cold solder joint. So when we said it's under the hood on the passenger side, I assume in the cowl under the air conditioner somehow under or...

    Sad day, but maybe a silver lining.

    Where physically is the ECM in this thing anyway, passenger side foot well?

    Sad day, but maybe a silver lining.

    So the day has come where I have to give up on my triple black LS Sport. It has 192k miles on her, and honestly hasn't ran in over a year. Computer went paws up, but the motor and transmission were fine up to that point. At 10k mile full synthetic oil changes, it would burn 1.5 qt in that...

    Unbelievable MPG in this 2006 LS

    When mine was still alive, I'd get 21 or so back and forth to work if I drove sanely, and on the highway,. 27-28 at 75 80 mph for an 8 hr drive heading west. Definitely liked ethanol free fuel. that was with 180k on the clock. At 192, the computer went paws up. Since replaced her with a 2015...

    Breathing New Life...First LS Tune-Up

    I guess I really shouldn't complain... my second LS with 144k on it, got it at 22k. I am starting to develop a miss under load on a hill when not downshifting. I did plugs at about 70-80k, I'd have to look and be sure, but by comparison to my 2000, I've done zero to this car other than oil...

    Why do the V8 coils fail? A few thoughts...

    For you guys running NGK Iridium plugs, which model of plug, 5464 or the 7994? Heat is the absolute bane of all electronics components, doesn't matter whether they are semiconductor or passive components. Slopping heat sink grease to the top end of the coil to a heat sink will do nothing but...

    05 Lincoln LS heated/cool seats problem

    Oh yeah... how do you read the trouble codes for this? My regular scanner won't pick anything up.

    05 Lincoln LS heated/cool seats problem

    This happened to both of mine on my 06, at the same time... at first my passenger seat would trip off a time or two, but nothing consistent. The Christmas night, I went to drive home and both seats failed, even without a passenger in it. If I pull the fuse on the passenger kick panel fuse...

    permanent heat...

    Yeah I'm coming to realize the DCCV thing. What blows my mind, is I did all of the electrical checks, and it pointed to the DATC. I didn't remove the DCCV from the car, but I did check it to ground, and again, it came back fine. I guess once it heats up, the insulation must fail, or move enough...

    permanent heat...

    Augh... I just changed the plastic housing that runs from behind the thermostat housing to the center of the block, had a nice long crack in it for a while... could never find the leak. Had to take it apart twice to replace the big o-ring the second time because I didn't replace it initially...

    Unusual vibration problem

    I've never heard of a tire grenading itself in the trunk before... flat yes, catastrophic failure no... As far as the replacement joints are concerned I really hate to tell you that you can buy the parts yourself and take them to a local garage and have them install them for you, for a heck of...
