The outlet ports to the heater core are controlled by solenoids. The core return port to engine is T'd into line that is also return from degas bottle. I'm considering bypassing aluminum supply lines to core with rubber heater hose and manual cutoffs. I'm over replacing the DCCV any more. Since...

On my LS the fuel pump had a filter in line with a ground. The factory grounded the metal filter body with a ground from the pump wires...the simple ring terminal was clamped to the filter body. The replacement Delphi pump has no filter but I'm replacing the plastic elbow ( long story ) going...

I had , like an idiot , forgotten to install the new gasket on the pump top before connecting the lines. On the Delphi pump the plastic elbows WILL NOT just release their grip from the sockets on the top....even when squeezing the tabs....I had a hard time installing the larger one just getting...

First time this has happened. Cranks but wont fire. Parked in the garage last night and went to start today , won't fire. I have an OBD 2 scanner but I don't have any codes because it did this over night while parked. My guess is fuel pump time , or something in the FP circuit . Yes it could be...

I'm going to replace one of the 17 inch 5 spoke wheels on my wifes LS. Is it "silver" or "gray"? If I'm going to order one I want to make sure its correct because this seller indicates both were available? They indicate silver , chrome , bronze and gray? I thought the 5 spoke 17s were only...

I'm looking for a reliable source for a DATC controller for my 2000 LS...mine is a XW4H-18C612-BK. E-BAY is an option but.......when they indicate they're tested......how? LOL

Years ago I had a similar problem , hot on one side ( middle dash vents ) cool on the other and so on.....so I replaced the DCCV as many of you are already familiar with this solution. Fast forward to 6 yrs later ( yes I still like the LS , LOL ) but NOW it over comes the AC as soon as the...

Im replacing the rad. in my 2000 LS V8. All the auto parts stores only have the 2256 part number ( from a variety of manufacturers ). Indicating they use the same rad. So the v6 and v8 cars were the same? Any opinions on this? I would think the v8 would have a larger core.

What could cause the engine noise to get into the cabin thru the defrost vent , drivers side? I can cover it with a towel and it gets quiet. We had the windshield replaced a few years ago , been that way ever since , but I can't imagine how THAT could have caused it. They sealed it well and did...

My wifes LS ( 2001 ) has no sound coming from the dr. frt. dr. speaker. I have another LS radio , so I tried the swap test to see if it indeed is the speaker...................and it wouldn't work with the other unit as well, meaning either the speaker quit or? Who knows..... Anyway a few...

After replacing the compressor and manifold last summer ( and then holding a charge for a couple months?) the system now has leaked AGAIN and after returning to Ford , the mechanic tells me it is now leaking at the evaporator tubing that runs under the front of the car ( I thought that was the...

I'm going to "attempt" to trouble shoot my 2000 LS ( v8 ) this weekend ( over heating ). How often have you guys heard of water pump failures in these cars?

........and yes I looked over previous threads. I had an intermittent over heating issue years ago...........not sure what made it stop , but after a new t-stat it seemed to be OK? Over heating as of this weekend...... Anyway , all the plastic parts are only a few years old as they've been...

This sound has gotten worse over the course of several months. The reservoirs are full.......ps pump and fan.........but it seems to be trans related? Not sure where its coming from but sounds like a small turbine....... How the hell are we supposed to check trans fluid levels in these cars...

Well , it hasn't even been a YEAR since I replaced the valve. My wifes LS had no heat........ so last year I replaced the original valve ( WITH A NEW MOTORCRAFT ) and heat was restored. I had to replace the o rings on the compressor manifold ( AC ) because she lost AC as well. Took the car to...

....and "blend" door. Do these exist on my 2000 LS and how often do they give trouble if they do? For that matter , if they ARE on mine I assume they are almost impossible to access? Trying to learn the trouble areas for climate controls. Thanks

OK , I just wrapped up the DCCV replacement and it seems to have cured the heat problem ( where as we had no heat ) now we have full control of THAT part of the climate controls HOWEVER , the AC is another problem..............the compressor engages and you hear a "woooshing" sound , kind of...

I'm in the middle or replacing the DCCV , what is the function of the valve ( or whatever it is ) with the 2 hoses ( hot water ) and electrical connector , the one that has the mount that slides over 2 pins on the side / back of radiator? What happens when it fails? Thanks in advance

Can I get confirmation on this being the correct part for my 2000 LS v8. Its my understanding the 2003 and up used a 3 port DCCV. Thanks...

I've used the search function but after surfing a little I dont find what I'm after..........I'm sure its been asked , but I dont see it. OK , wifes 2000 LS . I keep cars for a long time so here goes. Took the car to a Lincoln dealership last year because the AC wouldn't hold a...
