Re: Engine runs rough while accelerating [tuscanskipper] by amgp

My 94 LHS with 44,000 original miles is now running great. It turned out to be the ignition wires that were causing the engine to idle and run very rough. Two of the wires had burn marks on the plastic boots that lead down to the plugs. They were so bad, that there were holes burned right through them. The car had been running rough for about the past 900 miles, but the check engine light never came on, and several different times I turned the key on-off-on-off-on to get the codes to flash, but it only gave me a 12 (battery disconnect) and a 55 (end of codes).
 
Even though my problems were solved by installing new sparkplugs and wires, after reading so much here, and elsewhere, about bad intake gaskets causing problems, I went ahead and installed all new gaskets (2 air intake manifold, 2 fuel injector, 1 air plenum, 2 EGR tube, 1 rear coolant tube - this one wasn't available, so I made one out of a self-adhesive gasket sheet from NAPA -, and 1 thermostat housing gasket along with a new thermostat). I was kind of surprised to find that all of my original gaskets were in great shape, were sealing everything well, and showed no signs of breakdown. Oh well, I'll just chalk this project up as a bit of insurance for the future.
 
Thank you for all of your help, tuscanskipper! I've concluded from one of your posts that you may live in Eagan. I live in Apple Valley, so if I see another 94 LHS around here, I'll give you a thumbs up.

I live at Benedict and Eagan. My shop is at Benedict, which is where I did the manifold gasket change. This plastic gaskets on the vehicle are really horrible aren't they?

Headlight problem by joey535

I have a 95 LHS that has been so good in the 6 yrs I've owned it however I have a problem I cannot resolve and I hate to take it to the dealer if it's something I can repair myself. The headlights will not come on. I have replaced the bulbs, checked all the fuses and relays in both fuse boxes and still no lights. I also bought a used headlight switch and installed that and that wasn't the solution either. Anyone here have any ideas on what I'm missing? I sure would appreciate any advice I can get to fix this problem. I do remember one night I was driving and they went out and came back on and I heard this "clicking" noise from the lower dash panel. That's why I suspected the relays but I switched them around and they are good. Again; any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Joe

Engine codes by frazzled2

Hey everyone this is by far the best forum I've seen online. Hopefully someone can help me...My 95 LHS has been stalling and then hard to start. Engine cranks, turns but seems like its not getting gas. It will run fine for days, weeks ,sometimes months. mostly only stalls right after starting at slow speeds...sometimes 70 mph cuts in and out. I know the engine has a miss(shop told me). They said thats probably spark plug. would this cause the starting touble and engine cutting in and out? Also will drive great then park and come back later to starting problems. ANYHOW here are some codes I got from it.......12(battery dis),11,77,54,35,55(end code). Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'm not buying into the intake manifold gasket...........its too expensive

I have a 94 LHS with 50k easy miles. However this winter I lost the water pump and let it sit in the shop till now to fix. However when I went to start to move a little it started running so rough it really confused me. It sounds and acts like intake gasket. but I have a hard time believing that. I have had no problems in its life. after adding some stabil in the fuel and running for a bit, I had some smoke coming from the back side of engine (white colored, and hot). So I was looking for some ideas, anyone have any?
