    My Ls gave me a code of p0240.....

    Think "bank 1 cylinder 1". Bank 1 has always been the side with cylinder 1 in my experience. Good ole P0420. Common issue on Subarus. Have you have any trouble with misfiring (dead coils) in the recent past? (stupid question I know, it's an LS! Of COURSE it had misfires! :lol: ) If so...

    newbe

    They work when they want to. They seem to work better at night or when the rain is really pouring down. Any other time, you might as well not have them on.

    If you don't have anything constructive to add to the thread you should just leave.

    Alternator failure or something else?

    Electronics DO NOT LIKE the voltage variations that are created by the alternator. Modern control systems need constant steady voltage in order to work properly. The battery is used to keep input voltage constant so that the regulation circuits on the control units don't overheat and burn out...

    slotted and almost drilled rotors

    Never had a problem with my EBC red stuff pads. The rotors I got from them were nothing to write home about though. They made a ton of noise from day one, and the best EBC would do for me when I complained about them, was tell me to have them turned. EBC uses a break in coating on their pads...

    Alternator failure or something else?

    Alternator sounds like it's charging as it should. Have the battery tested. Do you have a multimeter?

    What is Fuel Computer Data Error??????

    Check for blown fuses before you go tearing things apart. There's one in the passenger kick panel fuse panel that does something with the fuel computer. I don't recall exactly which one it was though.

Haven't had any trouble out of the Lincoln, actually haven't even driven it much since I picked up a 96 Subaru legacy beater to commute in. All of my spare time has been spent fixing that up to...

    Lincoln vs Cadillac..

    My STS was just as fast as my LS in a straight line. Might have been an older model with the 4.9.

    Headlamp Clear Coating

    Start around 500 and work your way progressively finer up to about 2000. You can go finer than that but if you just break out the plastic polish and a buffer the 2000 grit marks will be gone in nothing flat. Polycarbonate/plastic clear coat can be bought at just about any hobby shop or craft...

    Sections from workshop manual available here!

    Whats weird about that? They've been putting antennas in windshields since like the 50s. They haven't been popular until recently because it was expensive and not very reliable.

    How do locate my heater core???

    It's in the dash inside the car. Unless you can smell coolant coming form the vents and have found a puddle under the car with no apparent source then you don't need to even think about touching the heater core.

    little help per favor

    There are some push clips that hold it in place molded to the back of the cowl panel. Just give it a good tug up near the top and they should pop loose.

    Tie Rods? Windows not opening/closing?

    The DDM might need to be re-calibrated. Pull fuse number 7 in the panel in the passenger side foot well kick panel. Leave it out about 5 minutes then plug it back in. Cycle the windows up and down. Hold the switch for about 5 seconds after the window stops moving in each direction and that...
