srry man i apologize it was a flooded engine somehow i added to much oil last friday when i was coming home from work. ( oil light came on the beltway and i pulled over and the dip stick had no show of oil so i added a qt that i had in the trunk) sat morning i moved my car from the street to my driveway to wash it. cold start and killed it cold. it was under warrenty thank god it foul'd out the plugs and messed up the crank position sensor. but no it runs better than it did before and i learned a big lesson. but thank you all 4 ur help. Did this happen to any of u or am i the only dumbass that cant even add oil and im a mechanic wow!

I'm sure it wasn't the oil that flooded it, it was most likely the cold start cold shut down.

I missed the part where you added too much oil ...... the dipstick was dry, you added a quart, ........ how'd you add too much?

well the deal with the oil im surprised too. but when i pulled over cuz of the oil light i found that my oil cap was missing someone was probly ******* with me at work or its somewhere on the beltway anyways when i checked the dip stick there was oil splattered all on it i whipped it off checked and no oil so i put the quart that i had in my trunk in it and then it read a little over the low mark so i drove home next day i went to go add oil that i had at my house checked it it was over full. i was stumped and i wanted to pull it in the driveway to wash it and stuff cant really remember why i did but try to move it out and hour later to go to school and it wouldnt start made some wierd noise and all hell broke lose from there

After you get the car started, I'd check out church this Sunday.

Faith can help you deal with the challenges in life and bring peace and purpose.

Good luck with the car.

flashing CEL is a misfire.

you need to replace your ignition coils and/or spark plugs.
