last night i ran over a huge rock at the asuza mountains and it made a hole in my oil pan...the oil light went on so i pulled over to check the car...turns out that rock made a whole the size of a quarter on the pan.
i tried starting the car and it didnt start till the 3rd try...i turned around and ran the car for like 2 minutes then it shut off on its own...the battery light went on the brake pedal locked so i pulled over and the car wouldnt crank anymore...i want to know if i blew my motor or what?!?!?! people are telling me the sensor on the car just shut off the motor since it has no oil..they said it does that for safety so your motor wont go...anyone know if thats true??? its a 90 crx si with an ls vtec swap.

 

why are you trying to start it if it has no oil in it??

 

i was stuck at the top of the mountain with no signal on my phone late at nite with no cars passing by.
i needed to go as far down as i could get.
anyone have a clue if my motor is gone or still has a chance????

 

well i would try starting again. it may be seized or may be fine. i would get a tow truck to get you off that mountain and check it out

 

ohh yeaa i have the car at home now.
i bought i new oil pan earlier today and im planning on throwing it on tomarow morning.
i just want to know if my motor is gone so i wont use the new pan and lose my money.

 

well spin the crank by hand to make sure it isnt seized

 

U should be koo. Stay off of gmr after it just rained. The rocks get loose and the road is filled with them

 

if the car turned off by itself its a done deal.

usually when the oil pressure light turns on, its already too late.

 

the motor was safe!!!!
threw on the new oil pan earlier today and dumped oil in there and charged the battery and BAMM started rite up no rod knock no nothin..started up rite away
>=D

 

lmao... This proves God has patience for dumb asses !!!!
