With throwing codes you need to pre lube through the plug on the front cover,if you don't mind the codes just pull the timing sensor or cut the power to the ECM

leave the ignition switch off and use a bump start button or what ever method you like to get battery voltage to the starter solenoid. lt'll spin but won't start.

Unplug the TRS or SRS, TRS is easier, or pull the ECM fuses on the batteries.

Probably would be easier to pull the fuses. The starter is most likely hard to get to.

Don, I want to "oil" prime...

Next question..   I have a DDEC Multilink Translator  P/N 23528022    What do you folks recommend for software.   Can someone send me a link or ??  I'd really like to run the software off a PC vs a Prolink..
