2000 LS V8. 148k miles. The car had been sitting outside on the street for three days. The weather was cool (mid-40's at night, 60 during the day) and damp the whole time. I went to start the car, and it fired up as normal, but abruptly died after only 2 or 3 seconds. I tried to start it...

Hello, all For the last few weeks, I have noticed the following. I didn't find similar issues with a search, so wanted your opinions on it. During light acceleration from a stop, when the transmission makes it's first shift, there is a little click or pop from right behind the passengear...

I have a '00 LS V8, with Advancetrak. My brake master cylinder is starting to seep. In looking into parts, it appears that Motorcraft has discontinued the part for vehicles with Advancetrak. So Tasca and Fordpartsgiant are only selling those that are left at, shall we say, high prices...

Got my oil changed yesterday, and the tech said he had to fill the coolant. He thought he added "two or three quarts." (I have replacement plastic cooling parts in the garage and also have a degas / cap / outlet on the way, so that rebuild we be getting done very soon.) Question for you...

I've been trying to get seat rail covers for my '00 LS for some time. Actually, just need the driver's inside cover. I believe that of the four covers, there are actually two identical sets. The driver inside and passenger outside are the same, and the same is true for the passenger inside...

About a week ago, two puddle appeared directly under the back seats of the car, one on each side. They are colorless, with a slightly slippery feel, and salty taste. They haven't evaporated. I think it may just be deicer / mag chloride since I drove through snowy conditions just prior, but...

Guys Does anyone have a diagram of how the driver side airbag is connected? Does the harness connector go right into the airbag, or is there a piece that sits in between: i.e. the connector connects to something, which in turn the airbag is connected to. For reference: I have had the 3-6...

So, here's my drivetrain vibration story. - Replaced the rear halfshafts in July '05, which resolved a drivetrain vibration that started at 75 mph and got steadily worse with speed - In winter of '05, I noticed a low rumble and mild vibration from the rear when driving the car cold in...

So I'm chasing a brake issue. When travelling at speeds above 50, if I gently apply the brakes (for instance, to shed 5 mph without diving the nose when you see a cop), there is a low but loud rumble and a shake you can feel in the car. It seems to be more pronounced when the brakes are hot...

OK, I am just being double-careful here. Sorry for a stupid question, but I can't help myself. I just got new sport shocks, and an alignment was done. On the shakeout voyage this weekend (3 hour drive to Asheville) I noticed a "new" sound. It's a whine: - becomes noticeable about 30 mph...

Since we're moving back to Denver from Atlanta in a few weeks, I've decided to get the ol' LS ('00, V8, 118k) in shape for the drive. Last summer and fall: - alternator - aluminum t-stat housing So far this spring: - new sparks and Visteon COPs ($180 for the set) - 120k transmission...

For anyone who is planning to order rear sport shocks, I got the following notification from RockAuto today: "We just needed to let you know that Motorcraft has replaced part# AT704G with part# ASH24468. This is simply a supersede and the part should be identical, just with a new part...

Hey, I have two cosmetic issues with my '00 LS. 1 - The second "L" in "LINCOLN" on the left tail light got knocked off. It's not broken. It looks like it used to have some type of doublesided tape backing that held it on. Any advice on how to adhere it back to the tail light? 2 - The...

So here's a random one for you guys. My LS got a new (reman) motor in 2005. Since then, on three occasions, I have gotten a big cloud of white smoke out of the tailpipes when I start the car. This is usually after the car has been driven a short distance, say a mile or so, and left to sit for...

'00 V8, 115,500 miles. Transmission was replaced at about 60k. I drove the car from Atlanta to Asheville and back. It's about a 3 hour drive one way. On the return trip, after I'd exited the interstate, the transmission started to slip when i started from full stop under light...

Seriously, what could you do with this? Wheel the Heck?

Hi, LVC I have '00 LS, with the "Camel" interior color. I can get a set of carpets in the "Dark Parchment" color, and was wondering: Is "Dark Parchment" a new name given to the same or substantially similar color in later models, or is it a different color altogether? Thanks!

Got mine installed today. The parts fit perfectly. I'll see if they bled the coolant properly tomorrow, but the heat is working so that's a good first sign. $51 for parts from Rockauto, $125 for labor at the local shop. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1399057

I went to change my cabin air filter the other day, and found that my engine cowl / cover is gone. I have '00 LS V8. Does anyone know the part number for that? I'm thinking I'll have to go junkyard for this, but it would help to know.

Hello, all My '00 LS has the famous #36 air bag code. I won't bore you with the history of repairs done to try and fix it. I've given up on the Lincoln dealer fixing it, and I'm 99% sure that the problem is in the connector under the driver seat. The connector was replaced, but it...
