I always go by the advice from the old tire commercial: "Ones like the ones on my car." My 2001 Lincoln LS came off the assembly line with Firestone Firehawks, and after 20 years and 148,000 miles, it still has Firestone Firehawks.

Nothing yet, but I am seriously considering euthanizing it!

Okay, the Continental Locks guy failed. I don't think he knew what he was doing. He hooked his machine to the data port, but then he turned the ignition on and off eight times and pushed the lock button on the new remote, which I had already been told would not work on my car. I will try the...

I am NOT dragging my desk top computer from the 4th floor down to the parking garage, so I contacted several automotive locksmiths on a price for programming two fobs. The results were: Key Masters: We charge 65.00 for the first and 45.00 for the second. That would be $110.00. Noble Locksmith...

If that were the case, would it still lock, but not unlock?

I have a 2001 Lincoln LS w/ 3.0L V6. I was quoted $50.00 by the Ford dealer in Niagara Falls (there is no Lincoln dealer in Niagara Falls) for a OEM remote when I had the car in there for body work. BTW, how would I program it for my particular vehicle?

While I am fixing things, the remote for my Lincoln LS doesn't unlock the doors, but the key does and so does the switch on the driver's door panel. The LOCK button works fine, as do the OPEN TRUNK and the ALARM buttons. Can this be repaired inexpensively, or do I need to cough up 50 bucks...

Which means...?

All right, now I am starting to get urinated off! I let the car sit overnight, started it and let it run, turned on and off the heater, defrosters, and headlights and let it reach normal operating temperature and return to normal idle, just like the instructions say. Drove it out of the garage...

Me too. Now I have the body of a fat old goat!

Right again, Robin. The Servo cable was not connected. The EGR valve is replaced, the Code Reader says there are no more error codes, I drove it around a few blocks and the CHECK ENGINE light did not come back on, so now I will do a Basic Drive Cycle once again, and if the light stays off, I...

Have you tried performing a Basic Drive Cycle?

I am now getting an EGR code, so he will be replacing the EGR valve on Friday. We shall find out on Friday when he inspects his handiwork if he forgot to connect the servo cable. EGR replacement is something I could still do myself, but I have no tools any more. Well, I have an electric drill...

I am too old to do repairs any more, but my son isn't. I was getting a PCV valve code on my LS. Of course, in order to replace the PCV valve on the V-6 you need to remove the intake manifold and everything that goes with it. My son removed the intake manifold, and while it was off I had him...

Well, I installed the above hose, killed the CHECK ENGINE light and performed the basic drive cycle, twice and the light has stayed off. Tomorrow I will perform yet another basic drive cycle on the way to the smog station for a retest. Everyone please cross their fingers!

Have you tried eBay? That's where I've bought all the mirrors for my LS. I've had to replace the right side mirror 4 times. (Don't ask!)

2001 Lincoln LS V-6 PCV Hose MOTORCRAFT KCV245 {#XW4Z6A664A}

I know this for a fact. I had a leak in my sun roof and every time it rained hard, my driver's door pocket would fill up with water.

According to the Autel-MaxiScan-MS300-User-Manual-V1.03: P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2) - I am assuming this has something to do with a hose leak in the PCV system because I have not adjusted anything in the fuel system P0445 EVAP Emission Control System Purge Valve C Short - I am assuming this...

...on my 2001 Lincoln LS V-6. On line instruction videos say the intake manifold needs to be removed to perform this task. Is this true? If so, I will need to buy a manifold gasket and sealer, so I figure I may as well replace the spark plugs, too. If it's at all possible to replace the PCV...
