    Terrible battery arcing

    Update: got the battery in the bastard, but now it's getting zero juice. The battery definitely has power and the battery is connected completely, but when I get in and turn the key, nothing. No lights come on, no sounds, nothing. I didn't use a battery tender

    Terrible battery arcing

    The cables definitely aren't on backwards! I went back through and rechecked my work ... everything is plugged in properly If it's a short, that could be what killed the battery in the first place. I'll start the process of figuring out where in the world it is, but in the meantime do you...

    Do you think the battery is still good to use? It took a decent bit off the battery prong

    Terrible battery arcing

    So, I replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils on my 2003 LS v8, but when I went to turn it on it wouldn't crank. I figured the battery was dead (it had been sitting for a bit) so I took the battery out, had it charged at auto zone, and brought it home. I installed the pos cable, but when I...

    Replace Brake Backing Plate

    For some reason, my front driver side brake backing plate is resting against my rotor and making a god awful squealing noise. I've ordered a new one, but I just realized that I don't see what fastener is keeping them in place on any of the diagrams. Does anyone know what I'll need, off hand...

    instructions on removing valve covers

    So I recently paid to have my valve cover gaskets replaced because they were leaking, and then today I noticed that there's a pretty extensive leak coming from both of my variable valve solenoids ... My experience as a DIYer is pretty low, but I'm excellent at following directions and diagrams...

    Sudden overheaing problem with 2003 Lincoln Ls

    There are definitely the right amount of fluids in the car. The biggest mystery to me is why my heat would stop working when my car is telling me it's overheating... I let the car idle for about 20 minutes and the gauge never went past the half way point. I put it in drive, drove around the...

    Sudden overheaing problem with 2003 Lincoln Ls

    the other day, my car randomly started to give me the "check engine tempertature" warning after driving for about 5-10 minutes. The fluids levels all seem fine. What are some ways for me to diagnose what could be the cause of this? I'm very new to the world of auto mechanics, so try to keep your...

    Clean oil from the spark plug wells / changing EGR on 2003 LS

    I recently purchased a 2003 LS knowing that it would need work, so I'm starting out by trying to do as much of it that I can myself. I was replacing the spark plugs and I noticed that a few of the wells had a significant amount of oil built up in it. I imagine I'll have to change my valve cover...
