    Possible Throttle body issue on a 03 Lincoln ls

    Okay, so my Ls has been in the shop for just about a month now and its really pissing me off. Originally it was in the shop for a pcm issue and it needed to be replaced. About 4 weeks ago my car went into fail safe mode and would not restart. I had the car towed to my house and found that the...

    No start, no CEL codes ( but light is on) 2003 lincoln ls V6

    You are absolutely right! Their have been too many hands working on my vehicle as of late, but I need her up and running again. I already know the politics dealing with dealerships and the high labor rates and parts. That's one reason why I refuse to buy the parts from them and supply my own...

    Well here is the update so far. Talked to the dealership and they were able to get it started only by jumping it off. They tested the vehicle to find out why it wasn't starting on its own and found out that the front fuse box was bad. So I went on and ordered a new one online. Also, when they...

    Yeah, I don't typically do rebuilt parts, but with no luck finding one at the junk yard I had to purchase one at carquest. Hopefully it will work out though. Plus. the ones online where priced too high from a junked car in my opinion....

    Should I Sell it?

    I agree with you on that! We all have to make a choice either to keep a car and put money into it or sell it for a newer car with a car note. I've always said to myself why pay a car note and spend way more than 3 or 4 thousand on repairs. I feel like at some point even with a newer car that...

    Yes, you are right! Considering I already paid for one and its under warranty I figured I would give it another shot. Plus it was a rebuilt pcm so hopefully this one will work this time around.

    Updates so far from the original post. Okay, so the dealership calls me and tells me its the pcm that is bad. I'm thinking to my self should I entertain this or tow it somewhere else. Its been over a week now and I still do not have my ls back yet. Well, I figure instead of spending more money...

    Got the Pcm and installed it last week. Had the car towed to the lincoln dealership so they could program the keys and flash the pcm. They couldn't get to it the first day, which I was prepared for. When the next day comes their computer craps out on them so now its gotta sit there over the...

    New code P0411 ?????

    If you have access to a scan tool, with KOEO (Key on engine off) command the AIR pump on. It should activate. If it doesn't, remove and inspect the AIR pump relay for discoloration/melting due to heat. Repair as necessary. With the ignition on (engine off) check for battery voltage at the...

    Yes sir! I learned from the best, a previous post about the swap mentioned that as well. To save the headache later I made sure to cover my tracks and insure that I had a solid connection all the way through. Giving the current situation I am going to disassemble the harness and make sure there...

    I thought about that as well! I changed my coil connectors last month when I did the switch. I made sure all my connections were secure and tested the voltage as well. I had no prior warning signs or check engine lights once I made the change. I am so lost on this one, but I will check...

    Whats the mileage on your LS?

    03 v6 with 187,000 miles on the body....rebuilt trans last year and recently the motor this year May. So I would say I have under 15k on the engine and trans. There was nothing wrong with the engine before it was rebuilt but I didn't want any surprises in the future so I did it anyway.

    It'll buff out

    The same thing happened to me in the parking lot on the same exact side and headlight. I feel your pain, but at least you are getting it fixed. I was lucky because the person that hit mine left a note on the window and I was able to contact there insurance company.

    My first thought was the coils but seeing that I replaced all my coils and plugs with new ones and had no check engine light on it makes me wonder if there is a another cause of the pcm going out. I did find out that two of my coils were loose because of the bolts holding it in place. I guess...
