    Long crank, no faults

    I turned the tuck on to move it into the garage today and it did it’s normal long crank, no sputters or anything. Plugs were done at either 125 or 130k (can’t remember but it was some time early last year) and I’m at 143k now. I believe coils are original. Purge valve was done I believe at 133...

    Long crank, no faults

    I’m thinking injectors too now, I just tried to start it and it sputtered 4 times getting the rpms to about 400 then finally turned over. Ran fine after though, no codes. Won’t be driving it until I looked at, don’t want to hydro lock the engine or throw a rod due to oil thinning. It seems as if...

    Long crank, no faults

    Hypothetically wouldn’t I be able to sort of tell if one was slowly leaking out fuel by seeing how fast the pressure diminishes from the fuel rail after pressure reaches its peak after shut off? Would one injector flooding one cylinder be enough to make the whole engine not able to turn over...

    Long crank, no faults

    Just to clear things up when I say jump to 1700-2000 for a second I mean like this Also all fuel trims look normal. Wouldn’t a leaky injector cause the car to run poorly?

    Long crank, no faults

    Is it not normal for these trucks to jump 1800-2000 rpm for a quick second on initial turn over? I’m asking this because for as long as I can remember even when the car was starting normal it always did this.

    Rear Seat Back Recline Adjustment

    my parents bought my LR4 back In 2010 when I was a kid. Since I basically grew up in the back seat of this car on long road trips i can confidently tell you there is no reclining feature, it’s a fixed position sadly. I would spend hours in the back seat fiddling with all the levers and pull tabs...

    Long crank, no faults

    It’s only on initial crank where it’ll spike to 2000 like in the video I posted of the regular crank. The high idle sits at I think 1300-1400 (right where the tachometer pin covers the “auto” part of the auto high beam lamp) idle stays pretty stable on that for about 20 seconds then will drop to...

    Long crank, no faults

    at a loss here at this point. Is it possible it could still be low pressure fuel pump even though the truck runs perfect once it’s started? Anyone else have any suggestions?

    Long crank, no faults

    Haven’t done the multimeter yet but I don’t think it’s a battery issue. Hooked my jumper booster to the battery this morning and heard the starter crank faster then I had ever heard it, still took 2 6 second cranks to get her going. When it finally started revs jumped to 1300 rpm instead of...

    M12 outter tie rod or m14?

    Would you think these are real? It seems a little too good to be true. https://www.ebay.com/itm/384879516630?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ijnk6wsps8-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    M12 outter tie rod or m14?

    I’ve got about 143K on the stock ones. It’s gotten to the point where it’ll pull unexpectedly to the left or right when the concrete slabs on the freeway shift lanes. (If that’s makes sense) the cheapest I could find as of now are on Atlantic British, I’ll check rock auto right now.

    voltags did another one of its weird trends. After a long crank the Voltage displays 12.7 without the heater on, with the heater it shows 12.5. Here’s another video of my voltage changing with revs yet when it’s warm it’s perfectly normal. The second photo is after a short 5 mile drive. It’s...

    Long crank, no faults

    At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if it was at battery issue. Everything else seems to be working fine with no codes, no fuel issues etc. plus I’ve seen some weird behavior from this battery too, when I was off-roading a couple of months back with my light bad fog lights high beams etc all...

    M12 outter tie rod or m14?

    As I was pulling off the wheel I didn’t really notice play however when I spun the wheel I heard the faint noise of little pebble rocks hitting the ground. I could hear it on both the drivers side and the passager side. That would mean bad wheel bearing right? I never hear grinding or loud...

    M12 outter tie rod or m14?

    Don’t have a caliper so I improvised a bit, I took an ajustable wrench and tightened it till it was snug with the threaded piece above the nut then I measured it and it came out as 12mm. pretty sure that makes the nut an M12 nut. Thanks for the idea!!

    Here’s a couple of cold starts. Pretty sure the starter is healthy considering it’s still working but not sure if it has much more life in it if it has to crank extra long every morning. Long crank: Normal crank:

    Might’ve been a false alarm, whenever I turn off the ignition it likes to say 419, but as soon as I turn the ignition back on it reads the same as the ambient. Does anyone else’s do this as well?

    Long crank, no faults

    The odd thing is that my car displays the proper temp on the dash so I don’t think the bumper sensor is the culprit. Is there another location for another sensor? I also did check this with the ignition off after driving so I’ll check again before I start the car with the ignition on just to...

    Long crank, no faults

    Did some digging around couldn’t find anything in the PCM temp sensors that seemed off. However I found a sensor reading 419° F in the BCM. I had an Ambient temp sensor right next to it reading the actual temp and the “external temperature” reading 419° F. Could someone check this live value in...

    M12 outter tie rod or m14?

    Just corrected myself, meant to say m12 or m14 not 12mm or 14mm. M12 and m14 refer to thread spacing and depth. I don’t think you can tell by the actual size of the nut while it’s on the car

    M12 outter tie rod or m14?

    I still get a bit of steering wheel wobble at freeway speeds from 73-84mph. It normally starts when turning, but will go away after driving straight for a bit. Even when driving straight some times it will come back aggressive and then fade away to be perfectly still. It’s not enough wobble to...

    I checked those before the car was on after sitting for abour 3 hours while. While the ambient air temperature read 55F the bank 1 intake 78.8F while bank2 intake read 84.2. I assume that they were warmer because they were trapped with engine heat all day, the car started fine though. I’ll check...

    Long crank, no faults

    My battery won’t go below 11.7 after sitting but is usually upper towards 12V. The battery was also just replaced last year so I don’t think that would be the culprit. As for the exhaust yes I usually smell it coming out of the drivers side wheel well but normally goes away after. My ambient...

    Long crank, no faults

    Still not completely sure what’s going on with the car, the only other thing that I could think of that I know is off about the engine is this slight exhaust leak from the manifold. At first it will make a faint ticking and puffing sound as it high idols but usually will go away by the end of...

    Long crank, no faults

    I did that today, car sat for 10ish hours there was around a 6ish degree change. Although it’s off would 6 degrees really affect how fast a cold start turns over though? Also on the morning that photo was taken the car cranked for like 6 seconds.
