Hi i own a 2000 Ls Sport V8. Right around 150xxx miles. A week ago i was driving down the highway 60mph and it started running really rough. Brake paddle was stiff and pulled over. It didn't die. Opened hood and it was hardly running with a loud knocking sound from top of motor towards the front end. I shut it off and called for a ride. I started it up again a few minutes later with the results. I had it towed home. Now it won't start at all. It's cranks and tries to start but doesn't make it to a full running condition. Unfortunately i ran the battery dead and had to unhook to charge so now i cant pull codes from pcm. I've tried unhooking maf but no change. Today i got under her and check connections to wire's and crank sensor. I wiggled key in ignition. I also tried turning it off and on multiple times to try and prime the fuel. I heard the pump the first few times and after a bit i dont. I plan to pull the back seat to make sure. But after all i did today it did finally start for a split second and sounded like crap before dieing. I couldn't find any posts close enough to my symptoms so I'm on here asking for help and advice. I greatly appreciate any help i can get. I.plan ok keeping her till she falls completely apart from old age lol. I've also replaced all cops and the plugs. After this started.
