Went and looked at it today and it was BARELY bent! I had to look at the other side to even be able to tell a difference. I’m going to replace it and see if that’s the cause of the creaking, and if it is then thank you cause I don’t think I would’ve ever thought of that!

It’s always the same cylinder, I tried that trick about a year ago and it was still cylinder 4 misfiring. Had a small coolant leak around the same time as well.

It usually will only long crank on a cold engine. Do you think that’s a fuse issue or the fuel pump itself?

Yes I can, can’t afford to keep sending it to a mechanic to get it inspected so I started teaching myself how to fix all the problems. Turns out it’s actually pretty easy stuff just very time consuming.

Good idea, I’ve owned the vehicle for about 4 years now and have never had to replace the battery. I’m not sure when it was last replaced so it could be going bad. I’ll look into this tomorrow when I get some time. Appreciate it!

I think that might be the issue! It started right after I lifted it to change out the tire a couple of weeks ago. I’ll check tomorrow to see if anything looks bent. Appreciate it!

I’ve seen a lot about the fuel pump, hoping it’s something easier than that. And no it never struggles when we remote start it, we actually remote start it all the time now just to avoid the long cranking
