When your time is finally up, I encourage you to consider a Jaguar. I'm pretty happy with my XF. Its pricier than the Lincoln, BUT... Its quieter on the road, even with a sunroof which my LS didn't have. It handles better - flatter in the twisties and far less squirrely in crosswinds above...

Sorry I'm a little slow on the uptake here (I'm kind of into Jag stuff), but I did want to comment to 02LincLS. Price of my new Jag was a hurdle I had to overcome. I paid 130% more for this "service loaner" than for my "factory demo" LS 10 years ago. I had to join that luxury segment that's...

Yes, I skipped the Germans. Repairs are too often and too expensive. I see great engineering and poor execution. I'm looking forward to 5 or 6 years with my hood sealed shut. In fact, I don't care it I never see the supercharger in this car.

Or maybe more correctly, Ford has deserted me. Just bought a Jaguar XF. Turns out it is the successor to the S Type, the twin of the LS. On the way down to get it the wife and I were wondering if it was going to be as easy to drive and as good a highway car as the LS. It is. Except its...

Bingo!! Tracked it down with a stethoscope. Don't know where it was rubbing, but pushing the covers around while I tightened the screws fixed it. Thanks. Saved me from fussing at the dealer for selling me a defective part.

Just installed a new OEM clockspring on my 2002. Air bag light is off, but the steering wheel is clicking at the half turn position. Since its all snap together I can't imagine I made an installation mistake, but I have years of data that say I'm less than perfect. Anybody else experience any...

Did you change the IAC, and did it have any effect? http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2037310830 Did you try clearing the KAM and doing a drive cycle? I think disconnecting the battery clears the KAM, but not sure. Also not sure the AutoZone etc. readers...

As I'm sure you have found with a search, this bucking on manual transmissions has been a subject for quite some time. Here's a bit of my story. And there's more later, but unfortunately I never came to a clean resolution...

Sorry for the long delay. I've been distracted reinvigorating a 72 year old train set for a grand children visit. Your symptoms are exactly as mine. Mine first happened in the snow in Western Pa., although it has always been a little fussy first thing in the morning - lugs easily at low...

I'm using Dorman 611229 on my 2002. Look and work fine. $1.45 at Rock Auto http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=970658&cc=1387177 Anyhow I have been missing a lug nut for a long time now and figured I'd buy a set and put them on since I get out of work early today. My question...

I'm inclined to agree the problem my car was exhibiting was a result of the programming (tables), even though we were 10+ years into computer controls and that would be a little surprising. Maybe the manual transmissions were such low volume they didn't make the priority debug lists? Or maybe...

QUOTE=LSinYourLS;2037318521]I had a similar bucking problem. I replaced all 6 coils and plugs. Additionally, I had a new transmission, clutch, flex plate, slave cylinder and flywheel installed. And the problem is fixed? I certainly hope so. You are much more committed to your LS than I -...

Thanks. That's the first thing I can check off my list permanently!

Interesting. I bought this in the summer of 05 from a dealer. It was a factory car. Any idea what your Vin was? This one's silver with black leather, fancy cell phone and no moon roof. ??

I changed the pcv and the hose also, and the air and gas filters. And cleaned the MAF, TPS and IAC. None has had a measurable effect. Also ran a knock test - no problem. I don't think there's anything wrong with the PCM. I think something is wearing out and the PCM is improperly correcting...

PS. Whatever was (IS) wrong with my car, the computer doesn't recognize it as a problem. Its not one of the failures the programmers have established a test and code for. The computer thinks everything's OK, but something's falling outside its performance envelope. This automatic fixing is...

The mystery continues. Last week the Ford tech found nothing except a P1000, monitor tests not completed. So he reset the PCM and told me to do a drive cycle. I executed it almost exactly as prescribed, and on the second time (wait 8 hrs...) It misbehaved very badly and I was hoping to finally...

I'll try that. Right now I'm in the middle of a drive cycle with the dealer and don't want to force any codes. Expect the temp to be below 70 Wed morning and should finish then. Thanks

Thanks for the thought - sorry for the late reply. I downloaded the knock sensor plugin for Torque and ran the test. No problems. But the EGR is a good thought. If indeed its leaking or opening prematurely an over lean mixture at 0 degrees advance would produce a weak power stroke. I'll keep...

I've been chasing a serious bucking problem for several months (http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?90390-The-Bucking-Problem). I've done all the obvious things, with no effect. Bought an OBD reader & downloaded Torque - some funny and some characteristic readings, but no codes...
