So when i installed the previous motorcraft battery, i broke the battery hold-down when i was taking that off to replace it. Resulting in the new battery not sitting back in its place correctly and was sitting at a slight angle. the dealership thinks that since it was sitting at an angle, that...

Thanks Broseph, So i disconnected the positive side of the battery and let it sit, put it back on 15minutes later and let the car sit over night. Then the next morning it started right up. So i decided to take it for drive into town. About half way into town i hit the "status" button to run...

UPDATE: Since re-loading the stock tune, the car has run fine until about a week ago. My girlfriends car had broke down and I went to pick her up. went to start the car to leave, and it did the same thing. sure enough...when i went to start it, the problem duplicated again. So i loaded the...

I went to the dealership and got some relays. The parts guy was telling me they've had five or six LS's in this year with similar issues that either needed a new ecu or some kind of computer reset. Which made me think about the SCT tune that I have in it. He suggested that something in the tune...

Yet another update on this issue. Ive been battling this for quite some time now. After i replaced the AcDelco battery with the motorcraft it ran fine for a couple of days, then the problem occured again. One second it would start and run fine and the next i would it would not. All of the...

Sorry to take so long to respond with an update. However I did end up getting a vented Motorcaft battery and seems to have fixed the issue. I left it running with a volt meter on the battery for about half an hour, turning all the lights and electronics on and testing again. Seems to be staying...

Thanks a bunch, I will keep you posted

Update from the side of the road.... as i was driving home tonight my ABS light, TCS light, Battery light came on and the command center said "check charging system." Then the radio went off and the interior lights went dim as well as the headlights which were essentially non-existent.. So I am...

update... just went to start the car after posting this... and it started right up! lol ohhh the life of a LS owner.

I hate to bring up similar threads in a new one, however, the one i was reading ended with no solution and the OP had left. HOWEVER.... I've been having electrical issues with my 2006. The battery would die after about 10 minutes of leaving the trunk up or the interior lights on. So my...

I did find this morning that the air box looking thing in the front of the motor had slipped off of the intake in one corner and was not sealed any longer like it should be. So i re sealed it all the way around and it runs 10 times better. With this being past the MAF, im thinking the motor was...

VCT solenoid?

Over the last couple of days my 06 ls has gotten the rough idle and rough acceleration that is most famously known as the coil packs. However, when i hooked my Ethos up to the car it gave me what seemed like every code other than the coil code (i can't remember the exact code for the coils... i...

Ahhh, very well said. Makes sense, thanks.

Im assuming that when the dccv goes bad, it is possible to cause a short. Hence why there is a 10a fuse online to blow so that things don't melt. In my case, the fuse was fine, which is why the parts melted. In saying this, the problem is not in the factory plug. Its why the fuse didn't blow...

I had to cut them. There was nothing left on the inside of either end. Too bad the fuse didn't do its job! It was still good. Replaced in anyways and i have cold AC again. Would just like a factory fix. Ill look at junk yards a little farther away i suppose.

Over the weekend I started to change the infamous dccv valve due to lack of air and constant hot air. So when i got to it and went to unplug the valve. I found that the the male end of the wiring harness and the female end of the valve Had melted together. Clearly there was no saving either one...

You and me both... None the less, it would be worth it! :D

Exactly what i'm thinking. My thought was that they should just buy the car and declare it a lemon! lol they have put way more $ in the car than its worth.. Not to mention the $4,000 bill to enterprise to rent a car! I think i will just put a new 5.0 drivetrain in it and call it done..... ;)

I gathered that. lol ive just been thinking about what it would be worth... As far as the paper trail... the carfax is CLEAN somehow.. must have not been reported.. however, i couldnt sell the thing without disclosing that info.
