[QUOTE="Jeremiad, post: 153391, member: 3108"] I apologize for the sidetrack on this thread, and get back to the point, which I should have started with. Do not disconnect your fuel pump. Do not pull any fuses. In fact, don't worry about the oil pressure from startup. The fuel will be the initial lubricant for the top of the cylinders, and although you don't want it to be excessive, it is not a concern in a modern direct-injected engine. As long as it starts right away, it will be fine. You can watch your oil pressure gauge and of course listen for noise, but the most important thing is just to not touch the gas pedal, and don't crank for more than 10 seconds at a time, with at least a 30 second pause between tries. Not that you should ever get to this point. If it doesn't start within five seconds, something is wrong. After all, this is a Chevy not a Dodge (or Ford, insert appropriate insult here). [/QUOTE]
