I have a problem with my LS NEED HELP

[firefighterfoster1]

I have a serious problem with my LS. A few weeks back I put a post on here about my car shuttering. At first I thought the fuel filter was stopped up, so I changed it. It ran fine for about 2 weeks. Then I noticed it again. It shutters at 40 mph and just below 2000 rpm. This is becoming a major headache and "aspirin ain't helpin". I also want to know if there is a fuel filter inside the gas tank(I was told that the car has 2). Any help, advice , or words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S.: I almost forgot can anyone please tell me where I can get a set of 20x8.5" rims for under $1500. Preferrably in Georgia, I live in Madison 60 miles east of Atlanta. :L

it could be clogged fuel injectors.

Have you checked the coils to see if they were oil soaked? That is probably the most common problem with the 2000 v8 LS.

I would take it to a good dealer and let them run a diagnostic. It could be a million things.

sounds like coils to me. mine did the same thing

Coils, mine did the exact same thing. Get the bad coils replaced and valve cover gaskets if necessary.

same problem...

I had to get my car towed into the dealer because my check engine light was flashing.....meaning that my engine was misfiring... they told me yesterday it was my coil so now they are searching for where the oil came from. all this is covered by my warranty so it's all good should have my car back today.

They're searching????????? DUH! If they have to look very long, I would look for another dealer. I'm serious.

just the guys wording...

the tech told me he was looking for the oil leak, they since have told me that they are replacing my valve cover and gaskets (of course) my dealer knows what they are doing......
