#129 of 179 Re: Help w/unknown transmission code [akirby] by hardworker612 Jun 25, 2009 (5:48 pm)
Replying to: akirby (Jun 25, 2009 11:44 am) Thank you so much for the information..   Now I don't feel stupid, I explained that I thought it was something electrical because the vehicle did not hesitate but simply would not accelerate. I was told that it had to be the transmission because of the codes.   Is this something that can be easily fixed? Expensive to fix?   I want to have enough information to (attempt) have a decent conversation with the tech when I take my vehicle to the dealership.

#131 of 179 Transmission Problem by prerunner88 Jun 26, 2009 (10:37 am)
I just had the solenoid and 4-3 Pre stroke valve replaced in my 2000 lincoln ls v8. It drove fine for a day then the next day i drove to town and when i stoped at the light it stalled. Now every time i put it in drive it stalls unless i hold the brack give it gas and put it into gear.   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: hardworker612 (Jun 25, 2009 11:14 am) Was reading your post while looking for information myself. I had the same problem several times with my 2002 LS and it was the coils on the spark plugs. They changed them at the dealership and the problem stopped. I could try to floorboard the car and it wouldn't got any faster than 30mph. I hopped my way to the dealer after they checked it and found nothing. I had left the dealership and gottne half way home when it started all over again. They told me not to stop the car when I got to the dealership, which I did. When they checked it on the computer it turned out to be the power packs on the plugs. They changed three of them, which I don't think it had that many bad personally. But none the less it works fine now. Good luck. BikerBoy44 Replies to this message: jtw72 (Aug 06, 2009 6:04 am)
#133 of 179 2nd gear jerks 3rd engages after rpm drops by ls03tor Jul 14, 2009 (6:05 am)
i recently started experiencing something i thought only hondas were famous for. 2nd gear gives me a jerk and 3rd engages late. if the rpm is high the jerk is even stronger. does anyone knows if this is transmission/gearbox or my car needs tune up? cuz i have heard this could be related to bad coils/sparkplugs. i am going to take my car to mr transmission as the dealers dont know shi* about their own car (past experience)   the only difference i noticed was that the car reaches 170kms+ in no time which wasnt like that before. just a little bit of push on the pedal and i can feel the downshift and the car flies LOL.

Replying to: bikerboy44 (Jul 13, 2009 9:15 pm) BikerBoy44, My 2004 Lincoln LS V8 sport with 42,000 miles recently had the 'Check AdvanceTrac" warning come on. It went on and off for about a week. Then yesterday, the "ETC Engine failsafe mode" warning appeared, and it put the car into limp mode. I pulled over, shut it off, and when I turned it back on, all problems disappeared. Interestingly, after heavy rains recently is when this problem started (see: http://answers.edmunds.com/question-2006-Lincoln-LS-ETC-engine-failsafe-mode-err- or-9646.aspx). Since the rain has stopped, no issues, Thoughts? I took it to a Ford/Lincoln dealer. Their diagnostic check said I needed a new "Throttle Body". They special ordered a part and said it would be $900 parts and labor. I'm holding off for now until I learn more. How much did your problem cost to fix? I'd like to tell them to look at the coils on the plugs first before I end up dropping thousands on them trying 5 different parts to fix a problem that may be as simple as your was to fix. I'd appreciate your input (or anyone else's) before a drop a grand at the dealer. Thanks!

Replying to: willy8886 (Sep 04, 2009 5:50 am) I'm no expert, but do you think it could be a transmission problem?   Seriously - take it to the dealer or a transmission shop.

Replying to: willy8886 (Sep 04, 2009 5:50 am) Hi Willy8886,   My 2000 Lincoln LS (V6) started doing the same exact thing on 9/16/09! If you don't mind, could you tell me what the fix was? I really could use some guidance. Thanks! Replies to this message: willy8886 (Sep 19, 2009 7:30 pm) lsjunk (Sep 20, 2009 8:48 am) akirby (Sep 21, 2009 5:30 am) and 15 more...
