I have a 5sfe that will not start. the start altenator and battery are fine. there is no problem with the ecu. it blinks every thing is ok evidently not. it was knocking for the passenger side and was out of oil when i heard this and i put oil in it and then it continued. when tried to push start it and it would not turn over. if anyone has any insight please respond thank you.

Well B, I have a 5sfe engine also, but thank god that hasn't happened to me, the only thing however that comes to my mind is that your crank shaft might be broken, (tried turning it?). The knocking that you must have heard might have been cause by detonation in the engine, and the force of the piston slaming back down before it reached TDC might have fucked up your piston(s) and broken your crank. That's all I can think off.
