Pulled the intake and checked the voltage at the starter while jumping the relay... big drop.
Checked around for a loose ground and the ground bolt on the frame below the battery was loose and rusted. Replaced and secured the bolt but it didn't fix the issue.
The battery positive was clean...
I took the intake off to verify voltage at the starter. Everything checked out, engine not seized, and the starter is new OEM. Jumped the ignition at the starter relay terminals and starter solenoid would clunk. Figured it had to be the battery even though the voltage was good (never did a...
So, ended up being the battery. Voltage was good but I should have tested it further.
Still have the 0340 and 0345 codes to address... replace the camshaft position sensors or replace the variable valve timing solenoids or replace all four?
Or, inspect/clean/replace the VVT solenoid...
Started over with troubleshooting to make sure I didn't miss something... I can jump the starter relay connection and get the solenoid to engage. Still no crank. The solenoid was probably clicking the whole time but I couldn't hear it over all the other noises.
Starter has been replaced. I...
p0340 p0345 cam position sensor; throwing codes for both sides usually indicates a timing issue but it would still crank, just wouldn’t start… I’m getting no crank
p07050 pending; trans range sensor
Starter relay clicks and fuel pump pumps but starter won’t crank; engine not seized

Seems like most anti inflammatories can cause liver damage but it's rare.
Milk thistle has anti inflammatory properties and has been shown to detox/cleanse/repair the liver but it also affects libido so I steer clear of it lol.
I have an 05 V8 and I can add the secondary air injection system (emissions BS) is a common and expensive repair. There's an aftermarket bypass but it's not free and not without issues.
The optional X-REAS shock system is a common and expensive repair.
Still highly recommend. Runs and...
40 years in western NC and PA driving everything from my daily full size truck to a 53 ft class A hauling a 30 ft cabin cruiser.
I've run slotted, drilled and slotted, and high quality blanks. Never overheated a rotor unless it was a caliper issue.
I pump the brakes and gear down...
1st choice OEM
If unavailable, Brembo
Drilled and slotted are overkill IMO. They're more for distance racing. Prevents overheating when hammering on the brakes every corner. And they wear out your pads faster and create way more dust.
The spray works great on glass. All their products are non toxic too if that's important to anyone.
I also like buffing with one of these after cleaning to remove any streaks...
