Help Me Please
I was out driving around today making movies. I did a couple donghts and everything was doing great...I did a burn out for about 10 secs and then left and that is when my problems started. I went to turn around and the car tried to die...I saved it but when i came back to the spot where they were video taping the car died...now I tried to restart it but it wouldnt start. So I let it sit there for a min and I check the opti connector and pushed that back in, made sure everything else was tight...went back in the car turned the key...and it started but died agian...now I went checked oil and put some in...started it up and it wont idle...u keep your foot on the gas it will run but the oil pressure doesnt go above like 35-40 and moves from 40-10 while I am driving, I have a aftermarket oil pressure guage . also it started to back fire a few times and it feals real sluggish. it is a 96 TA with LT, cam, all internals for cam, and gears. now it sounded to me like it isnt getting spark but why all of a sudden will it just DIE??? any help would be greatly appericated.
thanks

we took out all the plugs on the drivers side since its easy and the cylinder 2 plug was soaked in oil?? We put a new plug in and the car seemed to run/idle better..pretty much like normal. (the oil pressure was a lot lower then usual 
)
What could cause the plug to be soaked in oil?
thanks

See if there is oil in the intake. If there is, do a crancase vacuum test. If there is not do a leak down test. If the pressure seems to stay low, have the oil pressure tested with another gage else where on the block.
Keep an eye on the plugs for further fouling.
Hey 385lt1 it's good to see someone from home. Where at in NN?
