    Remote Start

    I live in Arkansas and I hear you on the heat... Sucks and we don't get as hot as Texas. Hence the reason to install a remote starter.

    Remote Start

    Wow... There is a lot to installing one of these... Nothing I can't handle, but something in me has a hard time cutting one wire in a vehicle, let alone 10 or so... I don't care if I do solder them back, something about the way my dad taught me to work on cars in his shop when I was growing...

    Remote Start

    I think iPhone integration is a little short sighted as I may not have the phone as long as my car. That said I would like one that integrates fully and also turn on the heated seats. I need more research...

    Remote Start

    The remote start wouldn't replace the factory key fob? Wouldn't the remote start include the ability to lock/unlock the car? When I bought the car it didn't come with a remote to unlock the car. Since I needed to buy a new remote I figured I would get the remote start instead. Are you saying...

    Remote Start

    From my understanding now, there are certain bypasses that you can use two keys to program and there isn't a need for a hidden key, basically the bypass becomes its own transponder. However, I know nothing about the technology behind the remote starters. From my research, and I could be...

    Remote Start

    Title says it all... I want to install a remote start in my 2000 LS. I have no problem installing the kit but I am not sure about a bypass. I have never installed a remote start so I don't know what to expect regarding a bypass. I am looking at an autopage c3-rs730. Just don't know about the...

    Hello world and Timing Tensioner Issue Validation

    Replaced the tensioner. Check engine light is out now and the car runs Much better. Transmission issue is now very evident. Will probably let this ride for a bit as I don't drive a lot.

    Tip number 3: If you car is running sluggish pour a cup of sugar in the gas tank. Sugar will energize/excite entire fuel system. (Untested but probably better, use 3 cans of red bull... it may not do away with the sluggish feeling, instead opting to not let your car stop.)

    Don't forget... if you have aluminum heads you may also be iron deficient. Grind up some pot metal in to fine dust and just dump that right in the oil filler hole... Don't want that pretty, clean engine to suffer from lack of proper vitamin intake...!

    Hard to recall the exact noise... It was more of a clack than a tick or a knock if I had to be exact. That must be the issue Shredicus... My car has a cold from lack of vitamin C... I'll get right on that and let you know it turns out! :D

    The engine isn't TDC so they won't be flat in that photo. I can get list price at the dealership as my mother in law is the head of HR at the local Ford dealership. But my experience with them and my wife's 07 Edge, I won't use them for anything but fluid changes. They still haven't...

    Hello world and Timing Tensioner Issue Validation

    I haven't found the rubbing surface yet. I haven't had a chance to dig in... I also believe that is the knocking noise I hear, the chain running over the flat metal surface. I don't think the tensioner has given up the ghost, just the plastic part on top, so I don't think I have jumped time...

    Hello world and Timing Tensioner Issue Validation

    Hello all! First post here. Lurking this forum has lead me to picking up a 2000 LS V8 with 149K miles. I think I got a faily good deal, $3700. however, in retrospect it may not have been such a great deal. First issue, rough idle and a knocking in the front of the driver side engine...
