    Help! Its Smoking!

    It was a new engine. No quote for a rebuilt. When I did the leak down test, air was leaking past the rings and into the crankcase. With the engine running, you can remove the oil filler cap and check for excessive blow by.

    I had one a couple months ago. Was guzzling five qts of oil in a 1,000 miles. Ended up needing an engine. Piston rings were shot.

    Help! Its Smoking!

    Valve stem seal failures are extremely rear. A leaking valve stem seal would only show up on engine deceleration, like exiting a freeway ramp. i.e. high engine vacuum.

    Discovery 5 Air Suspension

    Have it diagnosed. No point guessing what is wrong. Easiest thing to do is, see if the compressor comes on at all when you start the vehicle up and cycle the height switch.

    Batteries

    You have to remember. The batteries might be made by the same manufacturer. But. The batteries that don't meet the quality criteria are sent to the big box stores.

    Failed emissions - no faults

    Whenever the battery is disconnected, the engine learned parameters are erased. This won't set DTCs. A drive cycle will need to be performed. https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/how-to-perform-a-basic-drive-cycle

    Is this a failing crossover pipe?

    The heater core can be replaced without removing the dash. The coolant pipes just have to be tweaked a little bit while removing. Basically, remove the center console and HVAC control panel.

    Long crank, no faults

    Crank sensors won't keep it from cranking. Does the ignition turn on?

    Camshaft Position Sensor Code P0390

    Mark the bad sensor. Swap two of the sensors and see if the DTC follows the sensor.

    Camshaft Position Sensor Code P0390

    Cam sensor failures are extremely rare. I would check the related connectors at the front of the engine. Make sure no coolant in them and properly seated.
