    Alice: FDR's Build

    I always wanted a build thread, so now seems like a great time. Nobody is here anymore, but the gravity well known as Facebook makes me want to have something searchable. Posts over there get lost in the timeline and you can't see the light. Before I get into that rant... I was going to wait to...

    Tried SCT tune, failed, no-start, PATS 16, no OBDII communication

    I'm currently under the assumption my PCM is fried. What is left to check? 2002 V8. I ran it for 20 minutes before starting the upload (car was off, of course) I tried to load up Unleashed tunes from a brand new SCT X4, but it froze in the middle of loading a tune (I gave it an hour to make...

    Semi-Solved: Flashing AT light, no code - now B1869/P1000?

    Good new first, in case anyone else runs into this I had a C1287 (booster pedal force switch circuit failure) and C1289 (brake pressure sensor circuit fail). These popped up after/during bleeding all 4 of those sweet, sweet S-type R brakes. To be nice to my assistant pumping the brakes and to...

    Pulley fell off, lost accesories, overheated

    Now I'm mad. I had to get towed, and being on a Parkway, AAA couldn't deal with us. I got lucky, though, because the tow company that came was part of AAA. Had I stopped a 1/10 mile further, I would have been in the next tow company's territory and they don't carry AAA. 02 V8 This has got...

    Tow hook points

    The LS will be getting picked up by a flatbed next week and, based on the previous experience, the tow truck driver may not be able to easily find a point to hook the winch. That guy ended up running the cable under the front of the car back to somewhere under rear door. That was painful to...

    Replacement engine options

    So I need to replace the engine. Simply put, at 71,000 miles the oil got low and spun a bearing in my 2002 V8. I now have rod knock on cylinder 7. I'm shopping for engines and have a few options. You guys have any opinions? I'd like to get this done by mid-late August, so I need the engine in...

    PCM code location

    Where can I find the 4 character PCM code without an SCT scanner? Can I see it under the cabin filter assembly? Behind the glovebox? Would I have to remove the PCM to read it?

    Timing chain caught up to me

    Well, at 71,200 miles, the secondary timing chain tensioners have finally [audibly] given out. It started on the highway with a rattle at 3,000rpm and 4,000. I parked at work, taking it very, very easy keeping it under 2,000. I started the car to leave, got under the hood to see where the sound...

    Botched eBay listing = your gain?

    Found this. It just so happens to have "LS" in the title. Gen 1 passenger headlight with clear lens corner, angel eyes, and carbon fiber eyebrow (eyebrow because BMW, carbon fiber because racecar) listed as a '95 Town Car light. $60...

    Miseed Connections, Spotted LSes, and Casual Encounters

    Feeling lonely for not being able to be part of any LS meets yet, so I figured I'd start a thread about notable LSes you've spotted and wanted to throw the sighting out here to see if anyone responds. Give date/time, Generation, color, engine (if known), LS/Sport/LSE, general location, maybe...

    Amp placement: Who has the most out-of-the-way location?

    I'll likely be buying an amp for my subs and I'd like to keep it out of the way. I have a pair of 8" subs mounted in the shelf, so it's not like I already have an enclosure in the trunk. I've considered mounting it where the factory amp goes under the brake light, but with most amps being twice...

    For Sale 05 LS V8 Part out, including engine, 126,000 miles, central NJ

    Not mine, but I bought the fogs off this car today and maybe this might help someone else here. He says the engine is "mint and has had everything done to it" I didn't have time to find out what "everything" was, but he knew that you have to do all 8 coils at the same time with a brand name, so...

    Check AdvanceTrac, ABS/TC appear to work

    My AdvanceTrac light came on, but there's no ABS light (yes, it lights up on startup). Based on searching, it's likely the yaw or steering angle sensor. Is there anything I can check before bringing it to the dealer (work). Can I only check for debris on the steering sensor? Possibly...

    14 or 16mm front lower ball joitn bolt? + other questions

    I went to get an alignment and was told it wasn't worth it before replacing some parts first. I need front upper control arms and rear lateral links/stabilizer links/Deeza JAL607's because the bushings/boots are torn up. The front right creaks a lot, too. I replaced the sway bar bushings with...

    Help: Can't reach front Sway bar bushing bolt, front passenger, 2002 Sport

    I'm stuck. I read the driver side is harder. Not in my case. Maybe it is on Gen 2s, which are more common, but this just isn't working. 2002 V8 Sport I got both rear bolts (as in both rear bolts of the front bar's brackets) off easily reaching in through the wheel wells. The front driver's side...

    Pulsing idle, almost stalls coming off gas in P/N, no CEL, new coils and VCGs

    I recently did the coils, plugs, and gaskets. I checked each plug well 2 weeks and 200 miles after the repair with no signs of oily boots. The idle pulses- about 4-5 second cycles where it'll be up at ~800 rpm for 2-3 seconds, drop to 600, rev up to 900, then come down to 800 again for 2-3...

    Transmission fluid puddle under bell housing

    02 V8 sport Yesterday, there was a puddle of red fluid. I had it running about 10 minutes, drove it 15 minutes, came back and saw the puddle (6"x8"). When I parked it, I saw a small puddle (2"x2") under where the bell meets the engine. Both were thin and bare barely showed up on a napkin I...

    Press-lock-3-times remote start disables AdvanceTrac

    After reading up on the remote start, besides the handful of other owners with it, my remote start isn't supposed to exist. I have the regular, blue trunk/4 button fob on my 02 and if I push lock 3 times, it starts up. Exists, doesn't exist, not supposed to exist, whatever, my car has it...
