Whistling noise from rear of my 1998 Old LSS

It shouldn't be the fuel pump..just replaced that recently. I was told it was my air ride suspension. We pulled the black hoses.. they were dried and cracked. It started making the noise when I hit the brakes..and continues for bout 10-20 seconds after I stop. But normally goes away once I accelerate. Any clues?

If noise is only when you brake, i would strip the brakes down and check for debris, lipped discs, cracked oads or shoes.

Change the IAC the idle air control. You may be able to clean it and put it back on.

SOURCE: have to hit starter 2-3

When you say you have to "hit" the starter, do you mean literally? If so, then you need to replace your starter. I've had several cars where the starter went out and if you bang on the starter it will usually start up. That wouldn't have anything to do with your fuel pump or idle sensor. Replace your starter.

Bad connection at spark plug and wires or coil pack. Possible a plug got cracked on the install. Possibly the wires were installed incorrectly.

SOURCE: car cut off and will not start

Since spraying starting fluid in the car it runs, tells you that the problem is fuel related. You need to check the fuel system step by step completely. It seems you have done some of the checks already, but you don't say weather you checked if you get fuel on both sides of the fuel filter. If you only get fuel on the inlet side and not the outlet, your fuel filter is clogged, so replace it and recheck. If no fuel on either side and you say the fuel pump works check the fuel pump relay. Don't just replace the computer before all checks are made the relay, fuse and grounds, etc. This can be tiresome but can also save alot of money if you check system and don't skip steps you'll find your problem.

SOURCE: JUST CHANGED WATER PUMP, POWER STEERING PUMP, BELT

the damper could be bad if it's the type with the rubber inbetween the pully and the the rest of the damper. check that and see if it is separated. if not looks like your crankshaft bearings could be bad

Lss repair how to fix noisy air pump on electronic leveling ?

when I bought my LSS I was told this was normal but now that we're in summer it hasn't made much noise. That said; if it's excessive it could be loose mounting of the air pump(rattle) or pump bearing(squealing).

What is wrong with the air suspension on my town car?

The movement is caused by a loose suspension. Deflated parts will not control body roll and without cushion suspension parts can be bent.

Having to replace only a defective broken part is cheaper than guessing. The air suspension has a diagnostic feature which can pinpoint bad components. A high end diagnostic scanner can hook up to the suspension and tell you what needs replacing.

If only a component needs replacing the cost can be low. Even the air bags can be patched or some will interface with cheaper Ford air suspension. But if things are too expensive some people replace the suspension with regular coil springs. You lose a lot, load leveling and superior ride.

You might Websearch for videos about these repairs.

Air suspension not functioning back of truck sitting on wheels

Problem most likely 1 of 2 things.
  1. Most common is bad air springs- they will fill up but fail to hold air. 1 symptom is you will hear the air compressor constantly pumping air to try to keep the spring inflated
  2. Bad line from compressor to the air spring- this is less likely since it shouldn't impact the air spring's ability to hold the air once it's pumped up.
If the rear of the truck raises and settles back on the wheels after you turn the truck off then it's almost certain to be the air springs. Often referred to as air bags, they look like normal springs with the air bags inside.

If the rear of the truck doesn't raise at all, the line from the compressor is likely bad to the point that it won't fill the springs at all. If it turns out to be the springs, you should replace them in pairs since they often will go within months of each other. Another thing to consider is some Lincoln owners have opted to replace the air ride system with conventional springs.

I think that my 1998 Cadillac air suspension system is going bad

I had a problem with my '98 Deville. I had a lot of issues with the air shocks and all the other electronic stuff that goes with that. I called the dealer, and they wanted $3500 to fix it!!! I found www.Strutmasters.com and they converted my car to a "passive" suspension, which bypassed that whole computer thing. Now I have a lifetime warranty, and I am VERY satisfied with the ride. The best part is that it only cost $800 and I got all new suspension! I highly recommend them for your vehicle!

GM air ride suspension compressors interchangeable?

I'm not 100 percent sure but I don't think the compressors are compatible... The ones from 95 and earlier were mounted under the hood and used a different architecture. The ones from 96 and up are under the right rear bumper. The two hoses on your 97 pump- one is for intake going into the compressor, and one is for exhaust coming out of the head... So it seems to me that capping it won't work. I didn't know that the earlier ones didn't have a hose coming out of the head.
