Abstract: Inspired by Lehmer's conjecture on the nonvanishing of the Ramanujan $au$-function, one may ask whether an odd integer $alpha$ can be equal to $au(n)$ or any coefficient of a newform $f(z)$. Balakrishnan, Craig, Ono, and Tsai used the theory of Lucas sequences and Diophantine analysis to characterize non-admissible values of newforms of even weight $kgeq4$. We use these methods for weight $2$ and $3$ newforms and apply our results to $L$-functions of modular elliptic curves and certain $K3$ surfaces with Picard number $ge19$. In particular, for the complete list of weight $3$ newforms $f_{l}ambda(z)=sum{a}_{l}ambda(n)q^n$ that are $eta$-products, and for $N_{l}ambda$ the conductor of some elliptic curve $E_{l}ambda$, we show that if $|a_{l}ambda(n)|<100$ is odd with $n>1$ and $(n,2N_{l}ambda)=1$, then �egin{align*} a_lambda(n) in ,& {-5,9,pm 11,25, pm41, pm 43, -45,pm47,49, pm53,55, pm59, pm61, pm 67}\ & ,,, cup , {-69,pm 71, pm 73,75, pm79,pm81, pm 83, pm89,pm 93 pm 97, 99}. end{align*} Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we can rule out a few more possibilities leaving �egin{align*} a_lambda(n) in {-5,9,pm 11,25,-45,49,55,-69,75,pm 81,pm 93, 99}. end{align*}
