Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone
Sounds like a newb question but I would like to find a safe way to crank-up the engine without firing-it up.
Do you think removing the fuel pump fuse ( 30A Located C4 in the fuse box) will do it.
I just want to create oil pressure in the system before the first spring start-up
Some people are talking about the fuel pump relay being faulty and the car wont start but I guess removing the fuse will create the same result?
Im asking about the fuse just because its more accessible than the relay and I want to save my poor back...
If you guys have better solutions to create oil pressure in the engine without firing-it up Im all hears.
Thanks
I agree with that method. Gerotor oil pumps don't really operate well at the slow speeds the starter provides. By letting the motor "catch" for a second the rpm flare before cutting the ignition off does an excellent job of getting the oil moving and pressure built. Usually it only takes a couple of times before you will have plenty of pressure. On GM LS motors, you can crank them for a solid minute straight and just barely get any pressure registering, but let them fire off and you will have strong pressure in a couple seconds.
It totally make sense.
So while getting oil pressure faster it seems you also reduce the number of rotations without oil pressure by using this method?
I guess cranking an engine for a minute without oil pressure isn't really good...I figured 15sec would have been enough
