starting problems
well the old beast finally got the rad hose problem fixxed but now when i went to start it it ran really rough then died and wouldnt start, so i popped the hood and turns out the guy i got to look at it forgot to add oil so it had the smallest amount of oil so i poured some more in and it started sounded better then rough again and stalled then when i checked the stick it was blacker then a chainsmokers lungs at 60,is this the problem why it wont start cause its too old and thick of oil and would an oil change help or did i do somethng stupid to my motor?

Re: starting problems
So wait, are you saying you know you used bad oil? If so, it wont hurt to drain that crap out and replace it with decent oil.

Re: starting problems
possibly the oil was in the truck for almost 2 summers and a winter and had no clue it was that low cause the last guy who did repair work on it said he checked EVERYTHING

Re: starting problems
If the oil hasn't been changed in 2 and half years you may have bigger problems then just black thick oil...need more details to pinpoint the problem.
1: Change the oil and filter. Try to do a quick analysis. Check for metal shavings, discoloration, milky oil, fuel in oil... 2: I'd do a tune up. Plugs, wires, cap rotor. Make sure your plug gap is where its supposed to be in check firing order. 3: Check timing, vacuum leaks and the carb. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: starting problems
i still need to do an oil change on it but no gas smell in the oil. i checked the plugs and they seem fine and all my wires are fine so im thinking its a dirty carb.i recently started having siezers*apperntly i have something wrong with my brain* and doctor said i cant drive untill they figure out what wrong but basicly forcing me out of my #1 hobby and my job :( and i have a buddy whos a big gear head and loves my truck so debaiting on selling it to him on a deal that i can come and see the truck on occasions and take me for the odd ride lol. still alot of things to think about first tho, i would hate to see my blue box belonging to someone else but it might be whats best :(
