    Second hand LS issues

    Cleaning the MAF sensor works wonders. Be sure and use MAF sensor cleaner, not something else.

    slight overheating w/ new cooling parts - what next?

    It fits on the radiator opening. It’s called “Lisle spill free funnel”. It allows you to fill cooling system and burp it at same time. Sold at Amazon. BTW. I live in Oxnard.

    slight overheating w/ new cooling parts - what next?

    My experience with my 2005 V8 says its air in the cooling system. I know you said you bled it but.....using that little bleeding valve is tricky. Instead I bought one of those yellow buckets that sit on the radiator opening. With that installed I ran the engine for at least 30 minutes while I...

    Strange power loss

    Yes, new COPS and plugs. On an LS they must be pristine.

    Best way to remove Carbon?

    I add a can annually to my 2005 V8 LS. I buy it at Lowes. It's cheaper by a couple of bucks.

    MAF sensor

    A dirty MAF sensor can cause many problems. In my 2005 V8 LS I kept getting engine safe mode errors relating to the throttle body. It had nothing to do with the throttle body, it was a dirty MAF sensor. I sprayed it good with MAF sensor cleaner and it cleared those error codes and the LS is fine.

    Saga of P2110 and P2107

    I had 6 P codes all concerning throttle body. I replaced: entire throttle body. All coils. All spark plugs. Engine would STILL throw the same 6 codes and go into limp mode. The fix? CLEANING THE MAF sensor. I removed it by taking out the two screws. Placed a rag under it and sprayed it...

    Air Conditioning Recharge??

    Just added refrigerant to my 2005 Gen2 V8. Turn wheel full left. On my car there is a plastic cover (drivers side) It has 2 different screws that need removing. It helps to jack the car some for this. Once you remove this plastic shield there is another rubbery shield in the way. There is...

    None of the Buttons on Steering Wheel work

    Not necessarily. I fixed a similar problem by removing the switch assembly, dousing with isopropyl, remounting and it was fixed. Lucky I guess.

    Stereo volume on steering wheel - only +++

    I had the same problem. I solved it by removing switch assembly from steering wheel, dousing it with isopropyl, letting it dry and remounting. Worked like a champ. No clockspring replacement necessary.

    Steering Wheel Mounted Stereo Control Unit Problems (Solved!)

    For the past couple of years, the stereo control unit mounted on the right side of Steering wheel, has been crazy. Trying to change the volume for instance, resulted in changing the station. Not good. After doing some research, I though for sure the clockspring was the problem. NOT! First...

    Help needed removing door panel

    Trump for President. Why? Because it will be fun and shocking to see and hear what he thinks when he realizes that he is charge of something to grossly mismanaged and bloated that his head will explode. That's why.

    What did you do to your LS today?

    I cleaned my windshield wiper blades with denatured alcohol. This was recommend by Scotty Kilmer on You Tube. It did take off a lot of dirt.

    Fixed my constantly running cooling fan

    Mine started with leak in thermostat housing. Ordered new housing from RockAuto. Installed it with old thermostat. (first mistake). At this point did not realize how important it was to bleed system. Car would heat up and cooling fan would race on high, never shutting down unless heater was...

    AM Radio Reception Problems

    Yes gents, I am new here. I thank LVC for having this discussion that helped 'solve' the crummy AM reception I was having. I thought my fix was easy and could help others experiencing the same reception problem. I did post to several threads as they all were related to the same issue.

    Finally figured out my radio reception problem.

    Hi, I fixed it a little differently. I took a folded tissue and stuffed it into the roof liner to isolate the islolator from roof. Just by pushing on the liner near the isolator I was able to locate where the short problem was and with the aid of a small slot screwdriver I was able to stuff...

    AM Radio Reception Problems

    It's the isolator in the roof lining coming into contact with the roof. If you turn on your radio and sit in the back seat, start pushing on the roof lining in the area where the lead comes of the window antenna. You can alter the quality of the signal just my pushing on the liner in that area...
