bearing rattle when oil change

Do a search and you should find the answer I found here 3 years ago with a better description than I can offer here. Since the oil filter mounts at an angle tou can't prefill it any more than about half full. So fill it as full as you can without spilling when you tip it to screw it on. Then push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and keep it fully depressed while you turn the key and let it crank for 10 full seconds. This pumps the oil filter full without starting the engine so you are not running the engine at high RPM with less than full oil pressure. Turn key off, release gas pedal and turn key to start as you normally do. No more awful sounding clatter. Why this works was explained in that thread three years ago and maybe somebody else can explain it. Anyway why can't all oil filters be mounted vertically so they can be fully prefilled?

Should work like that on all fuel injection. Car companies introduced clear flood mode into the pcm's when they were switching from Carburated cars. They did this so if people still stepped on the gas the car wouldnt rev when being started.

This site is just too great in that a few other dudes who really know what they are talking about will chip in with real detailed answers fo somebody looking for them. Again thanks to youz guys!

I am toasted so Good nite.

The fuel pump doesn't shut down. Instead spark advance is increased based on pedal position over temp.

BTW what are you trying to say?

When fuel injection took over, they built that into the system to make it an easier transition for the public.

Sorry Tbird, but "the true reason" was already explained by :

Basically your sending a 5volt signal from the tps which is putting the car in clear flood mode which cuts off injector pulse, which is why the truck wornt start. Good idea to circulate oil.
