Okay my car just died on me at the stop light for no reason. I don't know how or why it died, but my uncle said it was something in the distubitor(sp).. I just got a new one and it still doesn't start. Now the oil light is on and I have a check light on.

My question is could I be low on oil? or amI getting to much fuel? and could it be my main relay?

need help ASAP

Thanks for the help.

 

the oil light being on means there is not enought oil pressure question for you how many miles are on the car? has the timing belt ever been replaced? have you done a compression test on each of the cylinders?

 

1. check the oil
2. distributer cap
3. coil
4. rotor
5. are you getting fuel? if so main relay is fine
6. compression
7. timing

 

the car has 200+ on it and the owner said the timing was replace at 180+ and I haven't done a compession test yet.

 

timing should have been replaced at 100k did he show u a reciept that it had been done or did he just say it cause if there was no reciept i would bet it had not been done

 

nope he just told me because the owner before told him and he told me.

 

well look at the belt and see if there is any wear you might have sheared off a tooth or 2 and slipped timing

how does it not start is it turning over, is nothing happening?
