sorry, not keeping up

 

That's okay. It's been at least a week now of work.

Car started and ran fine today with the new sensors in. It's just nasty that it's a coincidence that changing the oil led to a no-start condition. I didn't think it was the oil to begin with, but I figured I'd go with all the information I had in front of me. I had spark, fuel, and air, and timing. Turns out that with bad female connectors, intermittant timing just ain't good enough.

Thanks for all the help everyone. the oil pressure is now higher than 0 on idle with the thicker oil in it. that's all I need until I can get the oil pump changed/fixed. I think that's the last piece of the puzzle. the bearing are ~2000 miles old, rods and mains.

 

Sounds like your good to go ...
