LS/VTEC turbo trouble HHEELLPP
I parked my car for a few weeks, it was in need of a fresh tune. My Daily was having issues so I decided to take the monster to work. I drove it 15 miles to work this morning. I checked the oil and it was good. On the way there it was sputtering while accelerating and died when i pushed in the clutch pulling into my parking spot. It started up right away but seemed to idle lower than normal. I worked my shift and when i came out to go home it woudn't start. I can smell gas when i try pumping the pedal and it tries to turn over but won't. I then popped the hood and checked the oil level and its extremely low, but i didnt notice it burning oil on the way in and there is no puddle underneath my car. Any ideas on what it could be, I appreciate any help. Thanks for your time.

Re: LS/VTEC turbo trouble HHEELLPP
sp your saying you burnt oil from your house to work? Did you notice any blue smoke at all? Maybe your tubo or engine is buring oil. You said no oil was leaking on the ground so oil must be burning in the engine.
Who tuned this? have them look at the tune and recheck everything.

Re: LS/VTEC turbo trouble HHEELLPP
I towed it home and checked the oil and its now half full...i don't know why it sitting would bring oil levels back up. I didn't notice any blue smoke, or smell anything abnormal. Somone suggested that maybe the turbo went out, and the oil is in my exhaust? and it won't start because it has no back pressure...does that make sense to anyone else??

Re: LS/VTEC turbo trouble HHEELLPP
Is the smell coming from the exhaust or throttle body? I think your ECU is holding the injectors open and flooding your engine. Do a compression test and disable your fuel & spark. While your doing that check your spark plugs. Look for wetness or black suit, check that your getting spark because your obviously getting fuel. Let me know what you find.
