Front Ball joints/tie rods 2001 Lincoln LS V8
I hope someone who has this problem will benefit from my post. I have an 11 year old LSV8 with 97K miles. Yes it is getting up there but it's a solid car and has served me well; I was not intending to trade it in. One day a couple of weeks ago I noticed a subtle squeak or squeal when doing the sharp turn out of my driveway, and when ... Read More

My LS story...Buyer Beware!!
This is my LS story. I hope to educate those thinking about an LS purchase or those that have found what a headache it is to own one of these vehicles. I had a 2001 LS. I bought it in 05 with about 80k miles on it for 11k. In 2008 with about 110k miles on it, the timing chain broke. I had no indication there was anything wrong with the ... Read More

Looking for a Lincoln LS part
I took my 2001 LS V8, 3.9L to a wannabe mechanic back in March 2010. He told me that my power steering pump was bad and needed a new one. He stripped the hydraulic pump cooling fan hose (part number 8c635) when removing it and I’ve not been able to find one . We’ve tried to order online but all orders are backed up until the year 2016. The reason is ... Read More

Re: 2001 - 80,000 miles, $3800 [akirby]
Of course not - but I AM worried that with Mullaly leaving, that the "comittment" to Lincoln may be forgotten again - Bill Ford does not like Lincoln, which was apparent when Nasser was fired, and the direction of Lincoln being part of the PAG, and going in the pathway of the LS was immediately reversed. Will the guy tapped to replace Mullaly stretch to rebuild Lincoln? What do you think? ... Read More

How many miles on lincoln ls?
I have a 2001 Lincoln LS - V8. 210,000 miles! Regular maintenance - oil changes every 5-7 thousand miles. I changed plugs at 100 and 200K. Changed out the tranny fluid around 110k. I had to get a new clock spring for the steering wheel controls, and change a window regulator a few years ago. I discovered Wagner ceramic brake pads and good quality rotors go a long way for a ...

2001 - 80,000 miles, $3800
Just bought the above LS at the auction for a friend of mine. Had it a weekend before he came to pick it up and drive it home. I remember them when they were in production, and I drove Lincolns at the time. Always passed because it was too small for my needs, but it was, and I'm now reminded, an amazing driver's car.

Bad Hydrualic Fan ????
How Can you figure out if the hydraulic fan is bad in my 2001 Lincoln LS ?????

Re: new overheating issue!! [nickrl]
For everyone that is having overheating problems here it is: first what you need to do is when it is overheating pull over(don't shut-off engine) and check if the fan is blowing air not just a little but a lot. If you don't feel air blowing the fan is not engaging on high. There is an actuator on these hydraulic cooling fan systems. The acuator is on the back of the ... Read More

This is a re-occuring problem. I have changed the Valve cover gasket a total of 6 times now, 3 times at the dealer while the car was under warranty and 3 times at my local repair shop. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if they have found a fix for it. Any info is appreciated. The car is a 2001 Lincoln LS 3.9L V8.

Anyways, I've had both the coils replaced (December) and fuel pump go out (last week). Today, there's an issue with Advancetrac. I'd dump this thing now but we're in need of replacing our '98 Explorer first.

Re: 2001 LS Overheating or Not? [racing4cash]
It's possible the cooling system has an "air bubble". Lincoln has a procedure to purge any trapped air within the system. This is usually needed when a componet is replaced and the system re-filled. If I recall, next the the left hood hinge, the radiator tank is there (where coolant is added) and to the center of the vehicle from that tank, there's a valve that's used to let the air ...

Re: Need Help With The 2001 Lincoln LS V8 [andres23]
You either have bad COPs (coil on plug) or a bad fuel pump or both. For the overheating - if you stop, turn it off and restart it does the temp go back to normal? If so it's probably a bad temp sensor or wire or possibly an air bubble in the coolant. If it stays hot then it's either a bad thermostat or a bad cooling fan. The cooling fan ... Read More

Re: My 2001 Lincoln Ls 3.9 V8 has an issue [costew93]
It is very straightforward but things are a bit tight on the driver's side. I suggest you start with the passenger side to build your confidence. It is easy.

The coils are also attached with a screw that ... Read More

Your description sounds like you have one or more bad COPs. Your dealer can do a stress test on them as well as run some other diagnostics such as fuel pressure whether the check engine light is illuminated or not. As akirby said, coils do fail with some regularity. When they find the bad one(s), they will check for oil pooling in the spark plug wells. If that is found, valve ... Read More

Re: 2001 Lincoln LS 3.9 V8 Sputtering/Bucking [costew93]
Could be the COPs (coils). They're prone to failure. Leaking valve cover gasket can also cause oil to build up in the spark plug wells which causes the COPS to fail more quickly. Tranny is the other possibility as is the fuel pump.

Re: BEWARE OF SAFETY RECALL #00S39-Certain 2000-2001 Model Year Lincoln LS [mommi]
Mommi, Just because the ball joint failed doesn't mean it was because the ball joint nut was loose! Ball joints fail everyday. A ball joint failure at 50-60,000 miles or more is not uncommon. If the telltale signs are ignored long enough, the failure can be catastrophic, as was your experience. If you were to provide the VIN, I could tell you when/where/mileage the recall was completed, provided your vehicle was ... Read More

Door repair kit for 2001 LS?
Maybe this has been addressed before; maybe not. There is a mechanism on each door that attachs between the door and the body. It keeps the door from swinging freely away from the car as well as limiting its travel. The part of the mechanism that bolts to the body broke on the driver's side on my 2001 LS. I would assume that there is some sort of repair kit that ... Read More

Re: Should I purchase a Lincoln LS or Not [steph13]
Expect around 17 city, 25-26 hwy but that's on premium. Not a huge difference, but not small either. That price sounds a bit high - I think you could get a better one for less than that. 2000 was the first year and had some teething problems (heated seat elements, window regulators, etc.). A 2001 would be better and a 2002 would be better still. Expect to replace the COPs (coil ... Read More

Re: 2001 Lincoln LS Mind of its own [gfunston]
The windows and sun roof area all supposed to open up when you hold the button, I believe it is the unlock botton on the remote. It is a built in fueatre. Now not supposed to do this if you just press the button but hold it and volia they all roll down to let the heat out.

Re: 2001 Lincoln LS Mind of its own [gfunston]
Could be a bad keyfob. The keyfob unlocks the doors, turns off the alarm and rolls down the windows using the unlock button. Take the battery out of the keyfobs and see if it still happens.

Re: re/welcome back... [leadfoot4]
"The other cars that Lincoln markets now are just FWD people movers, although I understand the MKX, or whatever they call it now, can be had as an AWDer" Actually, they all (mk s, x, z) can be had with AWD. While that's nice, and I certainly would not buy something like the X without it, it's still not RWD. I agree with all the comments answering my question. I cant ... Read More

Re: re/ used Lincoln LS [leadfoot4]
Welcome back, leadfoot. Still have my 2001 getrag LS and at 90K it's sill basically like new except I still need to replace the bushings on the front swaybar. If I could afford to replace it, I might think about it. But as it is, there's nothing that comes close for any reasonable cost. Hope it keeps on truckin as the only money I've spent on it for maintenance is brakes ... Read More

Re: 2001 Lincoln LS Electrical Problems [ebrown1]
I've had the same problem for a year! The shop never determined what the issue was, yet they always found a reason to get close to a thousand each time I visited. From June until yesterday, not once did I have an "event", last night, just as before, everything shut down in traffic, I had no lights, no radio, the car wouldn't take gas, yet kept running for several blocks until ...

2001 LS V-6 : Change PCV valve/elbow with the plugs
I had the dealer replace the three passenger side plugs at 98K miles. I did the driver side. It cost some $180 plus the cost of three plugs and gasket. If you have them do the plugs, do the PCV valve AND the rubber elbow with it. It will cost more, but it is worth it. After replacing the plugs only, five months and 5K miles later, the check engine light ... Read More
