For my 2000 Lincoln LS, V-8, what would you suggestion I use for the best reference guide, book, website, chart, etc. for me to get information on OBD-II codes coming from my Lincoln?

I don't know why everyone fights this...

1. Check for correct operation of the hydraulic fan system. (Lots of threads on this) Fix or replace if needed.

2. Replace all plastic cooling system parts, except for the radiator (unless it is leaking). This includes the degas bottle, thermostat housing and engine fill cap, and the upper and lower radiator hoses. Fill and bleed system exactly per the factory procedure.

3. Still have a problem? - Has stop leak ever been used? If so, you may never be able to get it all out.

4. Replace water pump.

5. Replace radiator.
