The car was running lean before the fuel pump was replaced. Since then, there have been no codes thrown. As far as the open vs. closed loop question, I'll have to ask my brother if he sees a difference. At this point he has purchased 3 additional coils. There are only 3 original coils left in...

Yep, got the tool to change the fuel filter. Looks like we'll be changing some coils, plugs and fuel filter at first. Then the O2 censors if that doesn't do it. Maybe we'll change them anyway. From what has been said they are overdue. But wouldn't a bad O2 censor trip a code? It does on my...

Ok, fuel filter should be on the list of things to do. I know its realitively cheap and easy to do. Plugs are motorcraft platinums with probably 50K on them. They looked fine when we inspected them, but maybe they could be changed as well? As far as the O2 sensors go. Never changed them, at...

Not sure, are you speaking of the rubber coil boots?

Hello everyone, I realize that I haven't been around for a while. Well interests change and I just don't have the free time I used to. Anyway, I'm hoping I can ask for some help. I just recently sold my 97 Mark VIII LSC after many many years of outstanding service. (has about 185K on it)...

Well, my seat stopped moving fore and aft (all other power seat functions still work). I can hear the motor running, but it just "whirrrrrs". I'm guessing something within the gearing broke. Anyway, has anyone ever replaced their seat motor? Any advice regarding procedure and costs (used?) would...

Anyone have experience replacing the air suspension compressor? Looks like I'll need to do this on my '99 4x4. Any hints or precautions? Or should I take it to the dealer? Thanks

My redundant "D" gear shift indicator bulb on the dash cluster burned out. Has anyone replaced this type of bulb in the cluster? Any advice/instruction would be appreciated. Thanks, Greg

Quick, does anyone know the size of the front hub assembly nut? I need to replace the hub assembly. So I call my local LM dealer for the nut size and he says "Oh, thats 30mm". So I go out and rent a 30mm socket, take the front apart and....you guessed it. Socket too small! Now I'm sitting with a...

I'm not an expert, but I doubt it. The way the factory changers act up, it would probably be better to get a new changer for your head unit anyway.

You can take the car to your local L-M dealer. They have a "master" key set and should be able to tell you what part you need.

I know I'm late but hopefully my insight will help. I just changed out my 10 disc Sony with one I got from CDchangersOnline. It is an Audiovox, 10 disc changer with....get this....a 3 YEAR warranty. That is the best warranty I've seen for electronics. Check ebay for a listing for...

Ok, I finally upgraded my factory cd changer and have two 10 disc factory magazines to get rid of. They both work fine, unfortunately, one is only a 9 disc mag since the 10th slot has a broken plastic tang. I was thinking $40 for both or $25 and $20(for the 9 disc), shipped. Also, if anyone...

Thanks guys. I'll know better next time. Soooooo, why in the H@ll do they charge so much for diagnosis. Did it really take them two hours to figure it out and intall, plus another $60 for the coil? I'm pretty sure it wasn't just the boot. I checked them all beforehand and they seemed fine...

Thanks Guys. It turns out I have a bad coil. The cars at the dealer now and it's going to cost me about $250, mainly for the diagnosis. To me that a TON of money for a simple change out. Does anyone know if there is a way to bench test a coil with common tools?

Okay guys, I need your advice. My 97 Mark VIII is sputtering but only at low idle under a moderate load. I can still excelerate, through the sputtering. It reminds me of a dirty fuel filter. Problem is, I just replaced the filter and it did not help. Also plugs are only about a year old. It...

Okay, I'm wondering if anyone has a tried and true method of getting moisture out of a fog light, before it craps the interior out. My wife drove her Navigator through a minor flood and got moisture inside the fog light. She's driven around for a while with the fog lights on but it seems to come...

But Leo, if you replace your drivers window switch with a passenger window switch, how will you ever get your drivers window down?!?! Ha! Ha! Sorry.....couldn't resist. Oh, they probably have the drivers switch more expensive because that's the one most people need.

Thanks Steve!
