my PCM was repaired with the memory intact, no flashing required. after i installed that silver box of death, i turned the key on with ignition off, checked codes and it was clean with all PID data normal. i put 8 new visteon coils and new plugs..... started right up and purrs like a kitten...

alright, just an update, joegr got it! so far as i and a lincoln mechanic from justanswer . com can tell, the PCM is bad. It cost me $27 to do the diagnostics myself :) (with the help of just answer . com of course) i got the complete service manual but found out that in order to get the...

i just got a PM that led me to a download for a complete manual! I've got some studying to do and if I'm still alive or have any pride left after this debacle, ill report back....

wow! thanks nelliott, you da man!

I'm brand new to this forum but I have been reading a lot of posts regarding maintenance issues and such. I seem to think that there are some Lincoln mechanics here on the forums that might have access and be willing to help with me troubleshooting my PCM/Wiring. If we all took our cars straight...

why would i have my car towed and stranded at the gnarly dealer when i can "possibly" find the faulty component myself and safe money by not buying $80 coils and $600 PCM and $500 throttle bodies? (prices are ballpark) their time is $90 per hour and my time is considerably less as long as there...

does anybody have access to the voltage drop test procedures (which wires are which) for PCM circuits on the LS? or does the maintenance manual just say to substitute a non-malfunctioning PCM to check PCM function?

Joe, I was just checking rockauto and they have a rebuild service for ECMs (i beleive they are talking about the PCM) have you ever heard of this service and is it worth it? it comes up in their catalog for the 04 LS8

Went back out just now and I got the car to NOT go into ETC fail safe when I first turned the key on, this lasted about 20 seconds before it went back into fail safe. It did this three times and got my hopes up before it petered out. The current codes are 0606 PCM, 1233 fuel pump off line, 1235...

thanks for your help, earlier i called the local dealership to ask about programming a used PCM if i can find one, the service writer not surprisingly had no clue what i was talking about and then told me i couldnt talk to the tech that was standing next to him telling him what to say to me...

new TPS and no change, i did compare the old TPS to the new one and im 99% it was bad. i checked the live PID data after installation and it is reading throttle plate position and shows a change when i manually move the throttle plate. i checked the PCM last night, connectors, wires for...

thats strange that the PCM would "progressively" die being as its a solid state device, but ive seen stranger things! im into airplanes and my airplane doesnt have a whole lot of computers so im just relying on research with this problem and so far ive found VERY few PCM failures and VERY few...

let me try this question, how can i test to see if the gas pedal position sensor agrees with the throttle position sensor. the car obviously doesnt like the coamparison with these two and i really need to clear the ETC if im going to get this thing started. im just assuming that the throttle...

at first 0606, 1233, 1235, 2107, 2106 in addition to these codes the driver information center says check parking brake, traction and some other stuff. As it sits now after clearing the codes the pcm fault (0606) wont clear and i keep getting just one or two other codes which are always the...

I have searched high and low but havent quite found another example of my problem. 2004 LS V8, it first manifested itself as the ETC failsafe, it would restart but then die completely in ETC failsafe, this happened a few more times until it would just sputter and die when i tried to start it...
