well, let me give you the situation. the car has been sitting for several months because of major problems (ie: tranny, brakes) and lack of funds. i started the car today after i recharged the battery and it sounded a little funny and smoked a little. i'm guessing thats from sitting so long. well, one of the battery terminals came loose so i reconnected it and tried starting the car again but it wouldn't even turn over and i haven't been able to get it started since. any suggestions?? i'm stumped.

 

was the car makin any noises when you tried to crank her the second time?

 

well, i got the car started again, but this time when i looked under the hood, a TON of oil was POURING out from somewhere. i think my oil filter seal might be bad, i couldn't really tell...too much oil.

 

out of curiousity...did you do anything differently to get it to start? o and good luck oil can be a mess, peace

 

nope, i did the same thing. i think its a bad seal on the filter. i will get another one and see tomorrow.

 

My dad has a 87 iroc and he is having the same problem with his. Today he found about 3 gallons of gasoline mixed with the oil. The engine was not turning over because the one of the pistons was hydrolock. After removing the spark plugs the gas was removed from the cylinders and it cranked over fine. He beleives that one of the injectors was stuck open.
