    anything but a phaser…

    2004 3.9 89k miles So iv been battling a rich/timing issue the past few months with my project ls. I originally had a bank 2 rich code, an o2 sensor code, and p0012 for a stuck solenoid. The o2 sensor was replaced and the bank 2 was most likely due to the charging system being half ass...

    P0153 and p0012 and need solutions

    well I currently have p0012 (retarded timing bank 2) and p0135 (????). Car symptoms are rough, rich idles, and lack of low end power. Runs fine when driving. Was wondering on where too go from here, diagnostic tests too fixes. Im aware the p0153 can potentially be caused by a bad 02 sensor...

    Valve cover/ camshaft phaser questions

    So i have p0012 and p0022. Iv done some digging and some potential culprits iv put together could be camshaft phasers, dirty solenoid, and a bad tensioner. (Rest have been ruled out but will still be checked) I plan on cleaning the solenoid when i have the cover off. And iv figured out an easy...

    Rich and retarded

    Down to the last step of getting my project ls registered and im having really weird emissions issues. Pretty much the car starts to run very very rich at idle and you can hear little backfires from the exhaust. I get p0175 fairly quick after resetting codes.(bank 2 rich). Then p0022 and p0012...

    Suspension questions for modding

    Hey everyone, iv been digging through some old posts and saw lots of this and that about suspension and parts and I thought it would be best to just ask straight forward. I want to lower my Ls. Nothing crazy just a bit. How complicated does this become with the setup the ls is running? And...

    Angry computers? Random codes. No start.

    Me again, so a few weeks ago after i had finally started putting miles on my car (almost 100) the car shut off on its own and wouldn’t start. It sat for a while as i was stumped. We scanned it and got these new codes p0010, p0020, p0135, p0155, p0403 , p1233, p1700, p2106 , p2135… complete...

    Trans has mind of its own

    I have an 04 ls v8. 88k miles. Its the 5 speed auto with the sport override (where you choose gear) (if that even matters) anyways, iv finally got the car in working order and started driving it. The trans is a disaster. It has failsafed twice and gone into “E” mode and refused to change gear...
