If I shouldnt be wasting money on synthetic oil, then what oil should I use as I drive miles and miles daily. I would say roughly 5000 kms each month, or two. I put in Prezzolic (whatever its called). The last oil change was taken at Oil Change shop and I dislike what they did so Ill go back to my own shop.

 

Pennzoil oil, its called.

 

Also especially when it's burning oil, you need to check often and add more yourself between changes. Letting it run out of oil will of course immediately ruin your engine.

 

yah well no i got bigger problems its broke down just changed the fuel pressure regulator last week now it'll start and run for about 5 minutes then die then i gotta wait about 15 minutes and it will start again and do the same thing any ideas?????

 

new problem!!! when its cold outside my car will start and run fine but as soon as it warms up outside the car will die and not start again any ideas????

 

while it won't start do some usual "cranks but won't start" checks:

Turn key on but don't crank, observe that the CEL comes on then goes out, also during that time the fuel pump runs to prime the lines. The oil and battery lights should come on and stay on.
Pull brake handle up and crank, observe that the BRAKE light stays on throughougt (this shows the ignition switch is generally OK.
Check ECU for codes (jumper wire works up to 1998 I think, later requires a scan tool)
Take one spark wire out and put into a spare plug. Holding the rubber part of the wire, press the shell of the plug so it grounds on the engine. Have someone turn key to crank. The plug should fire a bright white spark.

If the spark test doesn't pass but the others do you probably have a flakey ICM.

 

well i was looking down by the computer and found that the main relay was just laying there so i grounded it to the body and it started right up
