No start problem, not easy

Alright let me give you guys the background on this. I changed my oil pump, started the car and had no oil pressure, so i would run the car for a minute then turn it off and let it sit trying to prime the oil pump. Well on the 5th or 6th time the car stalled out, restarted the car, stalled out again and now wont start. The car sounds like its out of time when i try to start it. I have retimed it 5 times, the car has fuel, spark and compression at 110 on each cylinder. 110 is not crazy high but enough to start. Ran codes on the scanner and got idle air controller bad and another Manufacture code 1297 which i don't what that one is. No one can figure out why it wont start, my neighbor is a mechanic and even he cant figure it out. THanks if you guys can give me any adivce or help.

110 is hella low compression..im getting 170 across the board for a motor that has a little under 80K on it , all original.

Also if you had no oil pressure and were running the car , you may have bigger problems then compression. You are supposed to manually prime your system :/

Yea after i put that on i realized what should have been done. Don't think the bearings are worn though and the enigine wasnt running long with out oil, just about 2 minutes at a time maybe a total of 15 minutes but a half quart of oil was put in about half way through.

If you ran the motor for more than 5 seconds without oil I would replace the bearings. And it sounds like you're due for a rebuild anyways with those low ass compression numbers.

Also , Silvr put up the codes for our cars -
