You probably have a solinoid box/ valve body roblem which I have twice already. Very expansive to fix if you are out of warranty already.

go to the dealer and have them update your pcm, thats swhat i did on my 00ls8 and the problem is gone

 

[Yato1]

the pcm update is it free from the dealership if not how much would it cost

ask the dealer when you have it flashed.

 

[Yato1]

i dont know what flashed whould be

go to the dealership and tell them to update the pcm (is it free of charge)

i dont know what to say to them

attention... the problem is the soleniod pack, there is a tsb for this concern, i dont have the number but you dont need it.. pcm reprogram is not free, but after solenoid replacement you will need to update your pcm to compliment the updated parts.. these are available at your ford dealer, just fixed mine yesterday, very happy....
solenoid cost $285 /additive cost $10/ pcm reprogram .5 labor (approx $50)/if you cant replace the soleniod yourself (kind of a bitch) expect the total labor to be 2.5 hours +/-, this is the same concern that used to be just a reprogram but was updated to include a new soleniod pack, have fun.....
