    Please help!! LS won't start...

    Yea, I double checked all connections, yes I can smell the raw gas. I tried unplugging maf, no difference. I was cranking it and I stepped on throttle and it almost fired up but died. About the system being pressurized, I checked what I think is a purge valve in the fuel rail, when I press...

    Please help!! LS won't start...

    :confused: I stopped using the LS for about 4 days while I changed the VCG. Mostly waited for parts delivery. Today I finished the VCG and when I tried to fire her up, nothing! It just cranks but won't fire up. There is spark, I can hear fuel pump engage and fuel system gets pressurized...

    PCM Part Number

    I'm not an expert on this but recently I had a "new" transmission put in my 03, I also needed to replace the pcm and the shop that was doing the work told me ONLY 2003 pcm's were compatible with my 2003 LS (depending on manufacturing months) that 2004-2006 pcm's wouldn't work. Maybe the same...

    Scamming shop??

    Well, I went back today, and no luck. They told me they were backed up with other jobs and to come back Monday. I guess this is what happens when you don't read yelp ahead of time. Haha

    Scamming shop??

    Sorry I left that out, I went to 3 different shops before this and they all said it would be cheaper to get a good used trans swapped out than to rebuild it, one of them being my uncle's shop, but he couldn't do it because he was tied up with other jobs. so when I got to this particular shop...

    Transmission Help (no reverse or drive)

    So at the trans shop they charge around $150 to diagnose and was going to take 2-3 days. They didn't have room to keep my car over night on wednesday, so they said to drop it off the next day. I didn't take it and just left it parked since weds and today I woke up to move it because of city...

    Transmission Help (no reverse or drive)

    Well it looks like this problem is well beyond my mechanical knowledge and abilities.:eek: The most I got to inspect was the trans fluid which came out dark brown. So I'll be taking it in to local trans shop and see how it goes.

    Lost key Fob

    Dude I just programmed mine last week:D. I didn't have any fobs, just keys. I was at the swapmeet and got 2 used ford fobs for $5. I went home and programmed with this video. I know he doesn't mention the LS, but it worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjF_VWwn9dw

    Transmission Help (no reverse or drive)

    I understand how the 1,2,3,d4 and d5 work on this car. The thing is that this time I went from 1 to 2 and when I shifted up to 3, it still stayed in 2nd gear. Then I went all the way to d4 and d5, it was still not getting out of 2nd gear. I was also looking at the gear selector display and...

    Transmission Help (no reverse or drive)

    Yea sorry for the D1, D2 and D3 reference, I guess I was just trying to generalize. So I had the LS parked all weekend, I drove it down the street and it wasn't going past 2nd gear on 3, d4, or d5. Right before I shut her off, I noticed the "E" in the gear selector display. I plugged in the...

    Transmission Help (no reverse or drive)

    No work done to the trans that I know of or since i've had it (8 months). I was actually planning on taking it to a trans shop last week so they can check fluid levels and stuff but then this happened. It feels like i jinxed myself. No check engine light. The only thing that is on is the...

    Transmission Help (no reverse or drive)

    Well let me say that I didn't think I would be asking for help this soon again guys. but last night while I was driving home I was getting on the freeway (uphill on-ramp) I tried passing a minivan that was obviously not trying to speed. When i gave the ls a lil more gas i noticed that it wasn't...

    Upper radiator hose keeps bursting. ???

    hmmm, well to be honest I'm kind of skeptical about the oem hose since I did use it two hoses before this and the same thing happened. The oem hose popped from the outer curve though and had no signs of rubbing (that I remember) so I didn't buy the oem hose again since the same thing happened...

    Upper radiator hose keeps bursting. ???

    I went ahead and purchased the hose again as I need the car to get around (its running fine again). I did notice wear on the bursted hose though. I attached some pictures. It seems like the belt rubs on the hose (inner curvature) I circled which belt it rubs on and where the belt rubs on the...
