    changed vacuum lines now car wont start?

    Honestly. Im only assuming fuel economy based on the factory dash readout. Ive read that it should be around 22 to 24. Perhaps I will do a bit of math next time at the pump. And yes, I agree. It is hard to keep your foot out of the skinny pedal. The high RPM power surge of the V8 is simply put...

    changed vacuum lines now car wont start?

    **FIXED** After replacing the coils and plugs and having the catalytic converters replaced, I found the problem. A weak screw on the rear of the bank 2 fuel rail. Had to lay on the motor while my friend stalled the torque converter. I found that under pressure (acceleration), fuel was was...

    changed vacuum lines now car wont start?

    **Update** Verified that COP's are sending spark to plugs during cranking. I can hear the fuel pump. I have reset pump (wasn't needed). Checked my fuses. I am very open to the notion of my fuel pump finally going out. However, I am perplexed as to reason why it decided to finally die during the...

    changed vacuum lines now car wont start?

    Currently my only logical place to start looking. Nothing out of the ordinary found so far. I really was hoping for a damn fuse to be blown.

    changed vacuum lines now car wont start?

    Ok here goes. I have a 2004 Lincoln LS8. I've changed coils, plugs, and VC Gaskets about 2 months ago. Car ran great, for about 3 weeks. When cold the car runs like there are no problems, in fact it still behaves this way. Once vehicle is up to operating temperature, all known hell breaks loose...

    Need good Lincoln mechanic in Houston area.

    I love my car (2004 LSV8). It is affordable to repair (when I have the time myself). Thing is, I don't. i really am just looking for a decent mechanic that knows these cars and won't charge me for things I don't need. Always willing to pay for what needs repair. Just really want to avoid the...

    Tune-Up Query

    Ok. So I cleaned up all the wells prior to changing the valve cover gasket kit (which includes the plug grommets). I know there is a way to check the pulse width or resistance. The car does run better, I still have a faint odor of sulfur under hard acceleration. I am sure the coils have suffered...

    What's the best ls model for an engine swap?

    Honestly. This car is a breeze to work on. And if you shop parts online.. relatively inexpensive as well. Not many rear drive V8 sedans with such a perfect weight distribution and CG location. I have had all the problems, and I mean every single one of them (Coils,cooling fan,ac,suspension,pwr...

    Be honest. Is the lincoln ls scene pretty much dead?

    It sucks. I just got my first LS. I found it rather inexpensive. 05 LS V8 Sport, 86k no leaks, runs like something wicked. Now all I have to troubleshoot with is a dusty old library of threads. I do appreciate the existence of this page for sure.

    Tune-Up Query

    I thought my burning smells were somehow related to my halfass'd exhaust job. However, I recently noticed a bit of oil in the wells during my last coil volume 3 replacement. What kind of damage or time frame could I expect from this? I worry I will have to change my coils again because the car...

    "Service Parking Brake" light

    Anyone have any findings that may be a trend for this issue? I don't want to just throw money at the problem. However, I'd rather take the advice from some LS owners. I appreciate it.
