thread resurrection...this had the best tech advice of the threads i looked at.
this morning, first time ever, roughly 130K miles, got the massive CLICK sound when i turned the key.
battery has plenty of juice, contacts are clean, everything is
except no turnover just a CLICK. it's not the pop-pop-pop-pop sound like when the battery is low or whatever, and i assume the CLICK is the relay engaging.
it did start after a couple turns of the key, first it did about a quarter turnover, sounded like a huge GRUNT, then stopped. next round it started like normal.
does this sound like the same problem? if so, i will do the same procedure outlined by eddie and mustang. if thats the case, where's the best place to disconnect the fuel line from the intake plenum group?
and also it sounds like i disco the t/b from the plenum and leave it in the bay, but remove the plenum/rails/etc...correct?
what sort of sealant/gasket maker stuff goes between the plenum and block, if any? just the factory gasket?
thanks much
