ran out of oil PART 2

[ajbecker98]

i am looking over my shoulder as i type this because the car belongs to my girlfriend and she is completely pissed off .

this happened 4 months ago and it has been running ever since .

here are the details

she drove one block , in winter , before it shut down .i drained the oil , changed the filter , and managed to get it running by turning the idle screw ( blis screw ? ) way up . when it is cold she needs to rev it up for about a minute , then it stays running . i took the valve cover off . very little damage that i could see . had the codes swpet , nothing to be found . so , now what ?

Double threads are a no-no.

really helped him out there.

does it run fine when its warm? sounds like the temp sensor

Taking off the valve cover will tell you virtually nothing about the condition of the motor. Pull the oil pan and check the bearings and do a compression test, that will tell you alot more.

I don't give a shit, fact is he made a thread about this exact same thing a day or two ago. So you know what, you don't need to say shit to me. Have a problem with the rule, take it up with a mod.

I am not a happy mod... "ran out of oil PART 2"???


This is the kind of shit that doesn't fly in my book. Theres not a damn thing wrong with your original "ran out of oil" thread.

Go back there and finish your conversation up in that one and do not make another duplicate thread.

You caught me on a very bad day here...

Locked...

**EDIT**
Existing members, when you see shit like this and know its a duplicate thread of one from not even 2 days prior, do not support it with replies. |_Eclipse_| did the right thing in telling him duplicates were a no-no and he did not provoke the thread to go any further. Thats all further it should have gone.
