ok after putting in a new coil and still getting no spark i started checking wires and found one not connected one in the picture i took. it was the one in the middle i was connected but not all the way started right up after that.


I'm not sure if the hot start problem is still going on i will half to wait and see. the car was real low on oil must of burnt it up because i have no oil leak and i had it changed before i went to califorina from oregon. could low oil cause a hot start problem the motor gets to hot and will not start till it cools down? makes sense to me. and on my dip stick it does not look like a regular one how full should be on the stick mine has 4 little notches in it i was going to put it right in the middle.

The stock dipstick is about 50 cm long and made of round metal stock, and has a flattened area starting about 10 mm from the end of the stick. The flattened area has two raised lines near the middle of the flat area about 20mm apart. The oil level should be between the lines.

ya i was thinking that but was not sure allot of cars have different ones

well guys its been three days now and have not had one problem with it starting or not starting you could say. I'm thinking either one of two things was the problem one the wire to the sensor was loose and causing it to not start.

the second is that the car was low on oil but not so low the light comes on low enough that the oil was getting so hot that the sensor one of them would not let me start the car till it was cooled down. well that is what i think

the good thing is i learned allot about my car next time i have a problem i know where to start.
