Airport:
My 2006 CTS runs fine once started. However, in the last month or so it's had difficulty cranking on occasion. When I turn the ignition to start, it sometimes delays to crank. It's as if there is a pause. Today, it actually wouldn't start at all and I had to turn the ignition to off and then back to start a couple times before it started. This has caused my Check Engine Light to come on a few times. It gives the following codes: P0523: Oil Pressure Sensor Circuit High P0601: Internal Control Module Memory Check One one occasion It recorded misfire codes P0300, P0301, P0302; but that only happened once, on a delayed start. It doesn't seem to matter if the engine is cold or warm. Any ideas or suggestions on what to test would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brandon

The link goes to a page for downloading an unknown file, do so at your own risk.
Have you inspected the front end components? Put on the lift and done a visual inspection? Has any repair work been done recently?
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Re: Help diagnose my vehicle noise Sign In
I had it up on lift and did a visual / pry bar inspection. No work done within months before the noise.
After watching various youtube video w ith sound, I believe the cause is one of the following: (as it sounds familiar to all of the below)
-Lower control arm bushings
-Strut rod bushing
-Engine mount

Re: Help diagnose my vehicle noise Sign In
2 cents worth on this type noise: Some vehicles (about any) control arm/strut type bushings will get a chirp/squeak from rubber to shiny metal where they do rub some normally. Rule out worn parts that should be replaced!
Solution if so: Spray with nozzle spray either a Silicone light spray. If gone for a while and returns use thicker rubber friendly grease, WD-40 is mostly rubber friendly (a fish oil) and repeat as needed. Noise if not a real wear problem will go away.
Other spots include sway bars bushings, top of strut bushings, inner fender plastic to metal fender, bumper filler parts etc.
Totally avoid spraying brake friction parts or hot exhaust parts without fail with flammable lubes of any kind. If an exhaust part/joint meant to flex not broken just fussy the silver brush in cap Anti-Seize by Permatex should work safely,
