From reading through the shop manual it appears that the secondary air pump is optional on the V6 from 2000. Does anyone know what it really does and what would be affected if I removed mine from the car?

Might anyone have a source for one?

'00 V6 5 Speed Manual. Replacing the radiator in the next couple days and I have a question. I read through the process per the Ford shop manual and it does say to remove the air conditioning condenser. I suspect that this does not really need to be done as the radiator looks fairly simple...

Just did a 30% tint on all the windows except the windshield. Been noticing that my headlamps are coming on during the day. Wondering if the tint might be the cause. Has anyone noticed this happening after tinting the windows?

I have stored my LS over the winter and before I got it back on the road I did some work to the sunroof. Had the headliner down and such. When I got it back on the road I noticed that the interior lights all stayed on. This is the front and rear interior dome lights and also the side marker...

Just rebuilt my sunroof and it did not fix the issue. So i called junkyards today looking for a sunroof and multiple yards told me that the 2000 had a mid year change in the sunroof and I needed to measure to see if I had the right one. The said that the sunroof are backwards compatible but...

I have a '00 LS with a sunroof. I am in the process or completing my interior change out to all black and I pulled the headliner out this weekend. I do plan on keeping the car so I am not looking for quick fixes but smart maintenance for longevity. My question for others is what...

Many early LS's had a CD changer in the glovebox or there was an aftermarket setup where the CD changer got mounted in the trunk. Even if there was not a CD changer the LS's had the cord that went from the radio head unit to the glove box area. I have tried to pull one of these at the junkyard...

I should know this, but with a visual inspection I don't see an obvious electrical switch for when the door opens. The one that turns on the interior lights. Does anyone know right off hand where the switch is located and what triggers it?

My rear defogger has segments that to not heat and subsequently do no defrost/defog the rear window. I decided to tackle this today A visual inspection showed no breaks in the grid lines. I ran a multi meter from the drivers side power tab and checked continuity across the grid to find...

Wondering if anyone can easily answer my question. I have a '00 LS 5 Speed. I am going to put Bilsteins in my LS doing the swap to a Jag S type springs in the front. I already have Bilsteins in the rear. Have some $ now and can afford to do the front. I know I will need to get springs for...

Short Shifter! For over 10 years I have been looking to either build or find a short shifter that would fit the LS. The reach to 5th gear is sometimes to long for me and I find myself missing the gear. That was my primary motivation. I found a shifter from an 02 in the junkyard a while back and...

It is looking more and more like I need to change the oil pan gasket in my '00 V6 LS. 5 speed by the way. I would like to glean any wisdom from those that have done it before. I looked for posts on it, but did not find anything here. I do have access to a lift. If I look at this correctly it...

Has anyone found a direct replacement for the 5 speed shifter that would reduce the throw? I figure that there must be a BMW shifter that works. Anyone looked into this?

I have a Gen 1 V6 5 speed. Car does not idle down when shifting into neutral and either coasting or coasting and braking to a stop. Idle hangs and bounces around up to 2500 RPM. It will usually do this until the car comes to a stop. Sometimes the idle will go down if I step on the clutch...

I have an issue with the instrument cluster not communicating with other modules. u1262 code. I have followed the troubleshooting guide in the Factory Repair Manual and concluded that the instrument cluster needs to be replaced. I can get a new cluster, but cannot download the current setup...

Blew out the alternator and battery on my 2000 5 Speed. There are two alternators for the V6. One for the auto and one for the manual. Both put out 105 amps. Does anyone know why there is a different alternator? Second question. For you guys that are running extra amps to power subs were...

I have my second 2000 V6 5 speed and I have found this problem with both cars. When driving in light snow the car will occasionally "stumble" like the engine might be stopping. I have only had it happen on the highway and only in a light snowfall. I don't see any electrical shutdown, but it...

Going to look for a hood for my '00 as I have a dent in there that would be more expensive to fix then just replace. Just wondering if anyone knows if the first and second generation hoods are the same. I suspect not as I believe the grills are different. Anyone know for certain?

Here is the issue. I have a '00 LS with the auto dimming inside rear view mirror. The mirrors tend to lose the liquid crystals that make the mirror work and good mirrors are difficult to find that are not broken. My mirror does not have the compass in it. These are even more difficult to...
