I was replacing my oil pan. Only things being removed were the oil pan, downpipe, cross beam and the engine stiffener. I filled it up with oil two days later due to the cold weather and just waited for it to dry to be sure. When I started the car. It would turn over and start up but instantly die. I do have gas in the car and do have oil about 4.5 quarts (was going to drive it to a level surfaced to really get a correct level). I tried this about 6-7 times and got the same problem. It's not the timing belt as it were replaced about 4000 miles ago and plus it wouldn't start if that were the problem.

I did get some CELs which is really really strange. Because I had no CELs for a while, before the oil pan gasket replacement. I do not understand the morse code, but I think it's giving me a 60, 22, 1 and a 6. But I think I am reading them wrong. I wish I had a scanner >.<

Here's a video:
Oh, btw, it's throwing ABS codes too. =\

It sounds as if you have a vacuum leak somewhere..
Id suggest getting those codes, they may help shine the light on the exact problem..

Does AutoZone, Oreilly, etc. rent out the OBD-II scanners?

it is wise to have a obd scanner when you have an obdII compliant car, you can get them at a few places for the range of 90-150 bucks dependign on which one you buy. I keep mine in my prelude everywhere i go as then if there is issue i can diagnose it right away and know if i should keep driving or not.

I woudl suggest you to do the same.

Did you plug your oxygen sensor connector back into the oxygen sensor ? Make sure it's completely plugged in, sometimes it doesn't click all the way in.

I never took it off. The o2 sensor socket I have doesn't fit the one on the downpipe. I didn't know an o2 sensor would cause the engine to do that.

I found the problem I think. When I was installing my front upper strut bar. I had to move the stupid wire stuff and I disconnected one of them and probably didn't connect that one connector back. I'll connect it when I wake up, if that's the problem.

Yes it can, It happened to me when mine got contaminated with rtv that some exhaust shop tried to use and I had an exhaust leak at the same time. The car would just randomly sputter and die, even on startup. Once I replaced the sensor the problem went completely away.
