Hello, I am selling my 2000 LS Manual-equipped car for parts. It is a complete, running and driving car, but has failed rocker panels from rust. I drove it that way for around 10 years, but registered it in June of 2023 and never left the yard with it for the entire 12 months of being registered...

I have a harness at home that I can send to you. If it is just the harness for the injectors, it should cover it. I can check it Monday, as I am out of town. Mine is from 1st generation V6, which may be compatible.

The issue that Heyjewel had was a bad fuel pressure sensor. Apparently, the car could not run. Check to see if they have tried that, as well as the PCV hose checks. The hose integrity could be checked from pulling the hose from the throttle body and pressurizing it with a smoke tester. That...

This problem could have something to do with the PCV system, which sits down below the lower intake manifold. It had a known weak point in the 90 degree rubber hose connecting the PCV to the breather line that ends up at the throttle body. Those hoses tended to turn into liquid and would cause...

Yes it is, but I would recommend that you try one of these above, looks very legit and the price is right. Mine is still installed on a running engine that is awaiting scrap/part-out/total vehicle sale, disposition.

It is looking like I may be parting my 2000 out. It has less than 3K miles on a new actuator.

Thanks G! So happy to hear that you got yours back under control!

Cool, hit me up.

Hi guys. I have one more month of valid registration on my 2000 LS and am not renewing. Does anyone have any interest in a fully-functional LS manual engine and drive train? Part-out? Let me know. I need to move on. The rocker panels (pinch seams) are rotted away, but driving it you would never...

Good luck. How long have you been running the proper fuel now? Running regular would retard timing somewhat to prevent detonation, but I don't know how bad that would affect MPG efficiency.

Hey there George, my LS suffered that same issue with the dead window switch. Long ago. I replaced it with a two-way rocker switch that almost looks OEM! Otherwise, it would be a DDM replacement.

I know that some have pulled the engine of these machines through the hood, but the service manual says that you need to drop it out of the bottom of the car with the entire front subframe. That subframe bolts to the body with 4 long bolts. If they followed the manual, they disturbed those...

Bank 2 is left side, correct? Check your plugs in that case, look for one or more that are wet, just to rule out an overfueling issue. It is starting to sound like possible O2 upstream sensor issues, if we do have them. If you have an infrared thermometer, check your cats for consistency...

Yikes. I just paid 3.589 for 93 octane this morning in MA. And my LS days are over. Time to sell the Getrag for parts or whatever. I now own 3 boosted Subarus lol.

Hey George, that 17.0 mixed seems pretty normal for our getrags. The best I ever got on the highway was around 22, but it was usually 21 or 20 when I was checking. Had you seen better numbers in the past? I used to see a 1 or 2 mpg improvement after a spark plug change.
