I was driving last night and then I was low on fuel and then it suddenly cuts off....just cuts off....Now it turns fine but won't turn over...gets spark....I opened my oil cap and smelled inside the head and all I smell is Fuel mixed with OIL....

Anyone know whats up??

The same thing happened at auto zone I was low on fuel and oil and then I added oil...wouldn't start waited like 10 minutes and started right back up....

ANy suggestions??

 

can anyone help? If not I will just start my B18c3 swap...I really wanted to avoid it because im trying to buy everything new for my swap....

 

Bump for answer, i've never had this happen, well at least the oil smell. When mine get's low on gas it gets hard to crank and won't get fuel pressure. I think mine's either the fuel pump going bad or the main relay going out.

 

non-starting when hot is usually a main relay issue, check your grounds as well.

 

WHERE IS THE MAIN RELAY??

Under the dash, on the drivers side upper panel, to the left of the in-panel fuse box I think

 

How would I be able to check if the Fuel pump is bad and how mill I be able to tell if the main relay is bad.....I check to see if I was getting fuel pressure and im NOT...so could it just be the fuel pump??

 

WHERE IS THE MAIN RELAY??

 

anyone???

 

Your main relay is in the fuse block under the hood. It's a black box on top of your strut tower on the passenger side of the engine bay. But from personal experience, I will tell you that when your car jumps timing sometimes it will mix the oil and gas for some reason. I have a 92 Colt that did the EXACT same thing. Try to take off the timing belt, check your tensioner, and if it's still good reinstall the timing belt and make sure that your timing is correct. Hope this helps there chief.

 

idk i was pretty sure that the main relay was where the first people said it was and that is under the dash on the drivers side to the left. Does the fuel pump make any abnormal noises?

 

Fuel in oil may be caused by a bad fuel pressure regulator, pull a spark plug if it is wet and black plugs may be fouled and maybe the car is flooded. You can get the injectors to cut off by holding the gas pedal on the floor while trying to crank the car, this may work if it is flooded.
