My question was based on a post in this thread about the ohm resistance of the fuel pump resistor. You're a troll looking for confrontation.

Feel better?

It was a faulty fuel pump. Easily replaced

This a 96 and the diagnostic box inder the drivers side dash doesnt have a fp or b+

The relay and resistor had no change but now the car won't start at all. Going to exchange for fuel pump. MAF sensor?

I'm at the junkyard and found one but the ohm meter reads 1.1, the same as the supposedly defective one

I have a 96 ls400 that was running fine. I drove it about 10 miles and then pared for about an hour. When I tried to leave, it wouldn't stay running. It had no power and was idling all over the place and trying to die. Giving it gas had no affect on it. I had it towed home and planned to work on it today. I started it and it ran fine but I wanted to find the problem. I had done some research and determined it was probably the fuel pump relay or resistor. I disconnected the resistor and tried to start it. It showed the same symptoms as the previous day and wouldn't stay running. I plugged the resistor back in but it still is not running correctly. My ohm meter is measuring 1.1-1.2 so I'm assuming the resistor is shot? Looking for a second opinion...

Thank you and yes I did check for play. It feels tight at both positions. I was checking for bearings and play side to side but it feels good.

I sprayed all the bushings because I needed to drive the car and I wanted more time to read about different symptoms. It's strange. Today, I didn't spray anything. Just jacked it up and inspected it again. When I set it down, the creaking is gone. I'm sure something is binding but I don't know where. Today I was going to just spray one spot with an educated guess of where the problem was coming from but when I lowered the jack, I couldn't reproduce the noise.

I recently purchased this car. I test drove it but I missed this and I'm hoping it's not a big deal. About 200 miles after I bought it, I noticed a creaking when I turned left or right. At first it was subtle but it quickly became loud and persistent. After reading through lots of threads, I'm pretty sure some lubricant quieted it down until I drove away. I'm trying to identify what exactly it is before I tear into it. On another forum it was suggested that it might be: sway bar bushings lower ball joints sway bar end links bent tie rod or sway bar Most people experienced a popping when going over speed bumps or into driveways. I have not experienced this. There is no popping so I'm hesitant to start replacing things just yet. This can best be described as a creaking like on a hinge on an old door. Today, I jacked up the front tires. There was an obvious creaking as the suspension released until the tire was off the ground. I couldn't find any obvious signs of failure in the bushings, tie rods, or ball joints but I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for. There is no sound or resistance as I turn the wheel right or left. I put the jack under the drivers side tire. As I start to jack up the tire, I can feel it pop. It's as though there is some resistance and then it releases. When I lower the jack, it is the same. Again, as though it is hung up and then releases with an obvious pop. Please help me identify what it could be and thanks for reading
