Oh man... Started with an EGR problem and now I'm down the rabbit hole.
So, I finished swapping out coil packs, wires, and spark plugs today. When I got all that finished I got in and turned the key and heard an electrical sounding pop and no start. The inside console started flickering, so I shut it off and double checked that everything was wired up where it should be (it was). I did take off the bracket holding the primary battery fuse to get to cylinders 3 and 4, but I took a bunch of pictures beforehand and matched everything up while putting it back together.
The truck is acting like it has a dead battery, so I hooked it up to my Accord to jump it. When I do this, the starter chugs once but no start. When I disconnected the jumper cables it will try once then behave as if the battery is totally dead.
While working on the plugs, wires and coils today I had both of the battery terminals disconnected, so I'm not sure how the battery could have drained.
I agree with moose and ulver's posts above that there is an oil leak somewhere and I'll have to do a much more serious overhaul with the valve cover off in the near future, but I'm at a loss as to why I went from cyl 4 misfire, but still drivable to now not even starting as a result of new spark plugs, wires and coils. I should note that I got the coil packs a few days ago and put those in with the old wires and spark plugs first and it ran at that point, so the problem is for sure not in the coil packs.
I was wondering if I had maybe blown one of the two 175 amp fuses, so I pulled them out and tested for continuity with a multimeter. Both passed (I'm not sure if this really means that they are still good since they aren't the classic style of fuse, but look more like a chip).
Any thoughts?
