Hello all. Is this the oem filter cap for this engine? I’m having a No start condition and I am down to looking at the needle on the instrument cluster not moving.

Thanks.

no .

agreed thats a aftermarket cap you better not have an OEM filter under there

Great. Thanks. I do.

Good video. Thanks. So I’m going to check the reservoir tomorrow while cranking. If all is well with oil coming up then I’m safe. If not, well, what is the worst case scenario? I’m already seeing the oil pumps are about 500. But can more damage have been caused? It has been long crank starting for a week now when cold, still cranks quick when warm.

Could be your issue - might not though. Only way to find out is to change it out ASAP. Did this happen to start after an oil change? Does your engine have an even crank and not speeding up or slowing down on a certain cylinder?

Oil was changed about 2000 miles ago. It seems to have en even crank.


Starting psi is 1500 on the high side. Ficm is 47.5-49. Ether will not start the engine. Injectors buzz. It just so happened to occur when I Messed around with changing a tune. It Didn’t start. Returned it to stock. Still no start. Was going to call sct but being that it showed some signs before the tune change, I’m thinking it’s something else. I Disconnected batteries for a while with headlights on. The only consistent code I get is the cam sensor code. I was guessing it only had to do with the long crank time.

IMO, it is not good for the HPOP to starve it for flow, let alone starve the lubrication system (and both can happen when your oil drains out of the filter straight back into the oil pan). As stated above, change that ASAP

going to test things out this morning and see. fingers crossed.
