Just came across this post. You still have the car?

Just saw your response. My code actually said cylinder four. Changed that injector and I was goo to go.

We had the same issue on start up with our 02 LS. It was a bad injector.

Thanks Joegr. That may be it. I will have to get a photo tonight when the wife gets home to double check. I'll post it up when I get it.

I have a bad line on my a/c system. I was told it was the low pressure line. It is just about even with the bottom of the radiator and I believe in front of the condenser. I wanted to check here if the following part is correct before I order it. Does this seem to be right?

Did anyone else notice the stuffed bear?

+1 for Akebono on all 4 corners! Love them. No dust so squeal, no muss.

Thank you Rugger!!!

Hey guys, I know this is not LS related but I need some help. I am trying to gather donations for the Susan G. Komen 3 day walk for breast cancer. As you all may know it's a 60 mile walk over 3 days. I have to raise a minimum of $2300 just to be allowed to walk. I know times are tough and...

Maybe a leaking fuel injector? I have a similar issue and I am pretty sure that is what I have going on. Gonna chase it down to confirm it as soon as I get some time.

One last thing. If it was the timing chain would the motor smooth out at 2K rpms without any odd noise? Or should it sound like a broken chain flapping around?

Although I am quite nervous about doing this myself I think I will. The only 2 things that make me nervous on cars is motor work (outside plugs, wires and caps/rotors and fluids) is electrical. To the guys who have done this, is it a pretty straight forward job?

HA! Thanks for all the info guys. Looks like I will have to delve a little more into it and see exactly what the culprit is.

Do you guys think that's definitely whats wrong with it?

OOohhhhh. Hmm How much of a PITA is that to change?

Negative. Could it be that simple? I wouldn't think that the tensioners could cause that, though I am no mechanic.

So here's some back story about what happened this morning and why I am in need of some help. The car is a '02 LS V8. Wife went to the garage to go to work. Turned the key, waited a few seconds, continued turning to start and BANG! Puff of black smoke comes out near upper passenger fender...

I will try as well but I can't guarantee it just yet. If you guys from Westland head down let me know maybe I can hook up with the two of you.

Thanks Joegr, I'll look into those. If they are bad (seems unlikely) I hope it's not crazy expensive for new ones.

Don't most of those say it's a more of a "thunk" noise though?
