2004 LS V6 Gas Tank Problem by plove
Aug 19, 2005 (3:20 pm)
Reply
check engine light came on, took car to dealership and check lead to e-vap leak, and broken roll over valve. No evidence of damage or scuffing on tank. 1,700 miles out of warranty, $2,300 repalcement, Ford won't help!
 
Have NEVER owned a car that has needed a new gas tank!
 
What could be the cause, if tank wasn't defective to begin with?
 
Please HELP!

If the servicing dealer is the dealer you bought the car from, you should ask for an After Warranty
Adjustment - the dealer can do that at his discretion pretty much, and they usually will for a Lincoln customer....if you were one. If this isn't the selling dealer, that's probably why they're not fighting for you.

Rough idling 2000 ls 6cyl. by donbaron

My 2000 LS 6cyl. is idling rough. Sounds like a cylinder is misfiring or perhaps we got a bad tank of gas? Other than ckecking the fuel filter and spark wires has anyone out there have trouble shot this symptom or am I needing to do some dealer diagnostic. Too bad the general public never caught on to this vehicle; it otherwise has been one of the best vehicles. Don

Don,
 
This is a "Misfire" from one of the cylinders due to a bad COP (coil-on-plug.) Is your check engine light on? A hook up to a OBDII computer would most likely tell you which cylinder is misfiring and a simple replacement of the COP would solve the problem. The COP's do not like moisture - at all. I've replaced 3 on my V6.
 
The ones on the drivers side are a breeze to swap out. The ones on the passenger side require a little more work/patients.

Go to Autozone and they will hook up an OBDII to check your trouble codes for free.

Engine Temp Gauge by donaldm1

02 LS V8. On two recent occasions, after driving a short distance, the temp gauge when to hot, the very top and the warning chimed "check temp."
 
After shutting down and checking for lost fluid (there wasn't any evident) restarted and everything back to normal. Will take it in on Monday, but wonder if anyone else has had this experience.

This has happened to me 2x in the last week or so. Drove probably 3 miles and check temp warning came on. Turned immediately off and back on and it was fine. Checked "status" and all was fine. Mine will chime with no message as well. She is a 2001 V8. In addition, I'm smelling occasionally a burning rubber or oil only when the heater or a/c is on. Seems more prevalent when I'm backing into my parking space or garage. She will go into the shop this week but curious to know what to expect.

This has been hapening to me for the past week or so. I brought it to Autozone when the Check Engine light was on and the code was P1299. I have it at my mechanic now. Some other sites said this problem had to do with the Hydraulic Fan Motor. When I restart the car everything goes back to normal, however, I have no heat. With the temp turned up to 90 degrees, it still blows cold air. It sounds like some sort of temp sensor. I hope it's something simple like a sensor. Some people spoke about changing the Hydraulic fan motor for about $1100. Hope it's nothing like that! I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I speak to my mechanic.

My 2001 Lincoln LS temperature gauge went to Hot and a symbol lit up on the dash and the air conditioner was blowing out hot air. I was told to turn the heater on full blast anytime your your car runs hot and the temperature will drop down and that was true. The temperature actually dropped. When I stopped the vehicle the solution in the resorvoir was boiling as if someone was boiling crabs and I took it in to Ford and they could not find the problem, so I drove for a few weeks and the same thing happened again and I didn't take it in yet, because it went back to normal again.
