    06 LS 3.9 O2 Sensors

    Thanks so much for the great input. The Lincoln LS is rolling like a champ. No codes and running great. I had eliminated all the cat damaging issues (mis-fire and vacuum leaks) prior to replacing the catalytic converters. (Changed them both along with the resinator? before the mufflers.) It...

    06 LS 3.9 O2 Sensors

    Wow. I really appreciate the insight. So in general, it sounds as if coils should be changed on a regular frequency. Is it ok to buy inexpensive? (Rock Auto) or woud a better spark plug be helpful? any info can be good. Just trying to do it right. Thanks

    06 LS 3.9 O2 Sensors

    Update: I have swapped sensors and reset codes and still coming up p2040 bank 1. I fixed the vacuum leak and the motor has no current noticable misfires. Next step is to replace the catalytic converters. I can buy both down to the "Y" factory fit for about $400 and have them installed for less...

    Got stuck working all weekend. My apologies for the delay. First I appreciate the ton of good info I picked up. Thanks for the replies. I know there is no comparison between the grand marquis and the ls... but I did expect a little more Ford dependability. I will be swapping rear sensors...

Never a problem with the kitties.how different could they be? I know... and replacing the cats on the LS is on the table. It is nearly the last of my...

    06 LS 3.9 O2 Sensors

    I also wanted to say, I found and repaired a vacuum leak on top of the engine, at the very front. Two small plastic vacuum lines that are covered and taped. Could that leak have been throwing a code for bank 1? It was hissing pretty loud till I fixed it. :)

    06 LS 3.9 O2 Sensors

    I just purchased this LS, It has 102K miles and runs like a dream. But it is throwing a bank 1 below threshold code into my code reader. Not on the dash yet. With only 102K on it, would the Catalytic converter be bad? or Would it be the O2 Sensor. I suspect bank 1 is the Passenger Side and if...

    Greetings, I just joined to maybe find some help with a Lincoln LS I am working on. I will be searching the forum and posting any good information I may learn on my journey. I do absolutely love the way the LS feels. I like the way it sounds and it has a great body style as well. Mine is...
