Yesterday i got my new crankshaft pos sensor and a new o2 sensor for my max so i could finally get rid of my codes. I drove around for a while and my cel came on again. I checked it and it was a 0505 so i reset and later the same thing goes off. I just checked it, same thing 0505 so i reset it. i try to start my cark and it wouldn't turn over. Tried a couple times still nothing. On the 5th try after cranking forever it turns over and my cel turns on. I check the codes and its a 1302, Map sensor.

Another thing thats been happening is when my car starts, about half the time, i've been hearing a brrrrrr noise. It sounds like a grinding of some sort and now when i turn off the car i get a sputtering version of this sound.

I just want my car to be running fine without any codes going off. It's really frustrating to fix one thing just to have another code go off. I don't understand why so many things keep going off. The car only has 50,800 miles on it and its a 99. This is so frustrating.

 

The brrrrrr is the starter, most likely. Re-grease it. Not sure about the other problems.....

 

I just started it again and the rpm dipped really low right after it started, around 400. then they were fluctuating around 1k.

What kind of grease do i need for the starter?

I've heard if you don't reset the screw in the right position you'll have a hard time starting.

Check to make sure the screw is in the middle.
