    Window Regulator Replacement. How-To w/ Pictures.

    I installed a new regulator but now the window only goes down 1/3 of the way and pulls back down when it goes up. Holding it a second time makes it close. Initializing doesn’t work. I used a dorman regulator with the oem motor. I saw something online about deinitalizing the motor by pulling...

    Fixing Front Seats.

    So interesting tidbit when I bought my 2005 LS Ultimate the car reeked of black and milds and among the common coil problems was the not so common seat problems(Google is proving useless). Im guessing the previous owner was a heavy set fellow who loved to cruise while chainsmoking some flavored...

    The Lincoln LS is proven in the coldest of weather even after 18 years on the road

    Except when every single door is frozen shut. One time ok but 3 times in one week gets frustrating :mad:

    Window Regulator - Plastic Runner Clips Available

    Wish I read this thread before trying to jimmy my window back into position. It was going up but cockeyed from being opened during the polar vortex. Now I realize trying to force it broke the regulator as the window simply falls if not held up...shit

    License plate bulb socket?

    I got pulled over for a license plate bulb being out. I ordered new led bulbs and replaced both. The one that was out initially did not light up and upon further inspection I saw the old bulb was burnt and the socket looked cooked. I assumed it was a wiring problem so not wishing to deal with...

    CAI Options?

    JOE! You are the expert man so I will forget that piece of misinformation. From now on I’ll keep it in 5 and see if the mpg improves, are there any benefits at all for switching between? Does the car launch faster in 4 or 5? I’m going to test it myself next week and post a video on youtube to...

    CAI Options?

    Car drives perfectly I do not think it is the torque converter but how would I know? I am also going off of what the on board computer is telling me as it seems pretty accurate but I know some people dont trust it.

    CAI Options?

    CAI Options?

    So it seems consensus is the aftermarket cold air intakes are merely for sound and looks. If I already have a loud exhaust setup would I even hear the K&N CAI? Would it be better with a tune than the stock CAI with a tune? My car gets 14 mpg combined but I have always had a heavy foot...

    Exhaust Setup Question.

    Hey all I’m new to the LS scene as ive mostly driven older Bimmers but I have a question regarding my 2005 V8. After fixing the common coil issue and getting rid of the misfire my cats commited suicide after another 2000 miles. I have ordered the direct fit magnaflow cats for $520 and was...

    Misfire problem please help!

    There are no message center instructions regarding that and the car didn’t come with the manual and my google attempts are proving futile but ill look into that more later. The parking brake seems to work, I can reset the message but it comes back every time I start the car. I’m wondering if...

    Misfire problem please help!

    After 2,000 miles with the good coils my check engine came on. No misfire but I took it to autozone and the reader said p0420 twice. I have done some research on my own and people say to just wiggle around the o2 sensors? How does that work? Does this mean it is not the catalytic convertor? All...

    Misfire problem please help!

    My LS has been running like a dream since I did the coils a second time with the expensive coils. Only issue is the car computer telling me I get a combined 13.3 mpg which adds up to about $60 in premium fuel during a week of driving...rough for a college student but car is a rocket. Considering...

    Misfire problem please help!

    I will drive the car until I can order the motorcraft coils. Do you reccomend any sparkplug brand or will any 1mm do? Also some of the coil cover bolts are missing. What exactly are those called/what size so I can order a pack? Again thanks for your help sorry I am a bit of a noob with these...

    Misfire problem please help!

    I understand but I trust amazon reviews and the parts have a warranty I have contacted parts galaxy about. I am worried something else is causing the coils to go bad and shelling out $400 on coils of similar design from motorcraft will not fix the issue.

    Misfire problem please help!

    Hi everyone new to the forums. I bought a 2005 Lincoln LS V8 with 136,000 miles and the second I got on the highway the check engine came on. Mechanic said 1,4,7 were misfiring so I had my former mechanic friend change all of the coils and spark plugs. We used NGK iridium plugs and coils from...
