If there is a crack in the head leading into the crankcase the water could be dumping into the oil. Look at the dipstick. Also, water could be dumping into the exhaust ports. I think you need a mechanic smarter than you or me.

Probably needs a new seal.

I know on a lot of newer vehicles it takes 5/6 times to start/stop vehicle to get faults to clear after repairs are done. Good luck

Its not a relay, have your multi function switch checked out

Check fuel pump output pressure.

Google a picture If you do not know where to look for a fuel sensor I would assume you don't know how to test it & don't have the skills to be doing that type of work No parts get replaced until they fail a test

Check passenger side, on floorboard.right side.

Hi, the Fuel Pump Driver Module communicates diagnostic information to the powertrain control module (PCM) through the Fuel Pump Monitor (FPM) circuit. This information is sent by the FPDM as a duty cycle signal which in turns controls the fuel pump.

It might possibly be a loose wire harness or a broken wire somewhere. Check harnesses under the dash to see i something is loose or a wire has broken.

Check the fuses or relays for the A/C

Check cut off switch, located in the rear, check your owner's manual. Verify the fuel pump is buzzing when you turn on the ignition{before starting}. If you don't hear the buzz/hum, your pump isn't working.

it may have two mismatched axle gearsets in it that when engaged are fighting each other for the power to move the car.. but in this case its less stressful to pop out into neutral..look at each axle and see what the numbers on the gear ratio tag says.. see if they match..the car may have been a rebuild at one point...also check the transfer case for proper operation..may have to put it on a lift where the wheels dangle in the air to check..like a tire shop..dont use the 4 wheel drive unless absolutely necessary..

when u say drive line do you mean the drive shaft for front axle and what side transfercase side or axle side and how bad a oil leak as it's normal for a slight wet look to be around the transfercase side shaft exit as this is all a "Wet" system and will seep a bit as things get lubed by oil in use , now if it leaves a puddle on ground thats too much and you should have it ck'd by a trusted mechanic (don't allow transfer case to go "dry") that would be expensive to fix then please read my tip'sN tricks for dealing with 4wd drive seals after use could save you lots of bucks

BELOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASHBOARD AND BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL THERE IS THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THAT IS THE FAULT. REMOVE IT AND RENEW IT.

Test the injectors for power going to them. Check fuel pump pressure as you may need to adjust. Finally, a whiff of starting fluid may let engine run for a few seconds indicating it really Is a fuel issue.You have both a fuel pump relay and an ECC relay in the Powerbox. If this is a Double Overhead Cam V-8, the are parts called "Cam Phasers" which can stick and throw off timing."Cold Start Sequence" This is a enrichment function which is controlled by water temperature. A bad temperature sensor can eliminate this process. The fuel mix is set rich and the cam timing is changed to promote easier starts.Most of the items I mentioned will not throw a diagnostic Code. You did not indicate whether a Code was set. The throttle position sensor can be checked by disconnecting the electric lead and using an Ohmmeter on the part while you move the throttle. The Ohms should change smoothly.Would like to know what you find.

If all 6 coils are factory original,replace them all.You may have a 304 & it may not evenbe the bad coil or you have several bad.Change sprk plugs every 3 yearChange front O2 Sensors at 100,000

are you shure that your check engine light should be on?? if you are and the light doesn´t come on then maybe your check engine light bulb is gone, you had to take your dash board out and see if your bulb is good, the bulb should not cost you more than 3 dollars on autozone, hope this helps.

Odds are its the sending unit in the gas tank.

when was the last time the fuel filter was replaced.

opperate control to disengage while going in reverse. sounds like transfer is binding up. minimise turning especially on hard serfice while in 4wd
