Car keeps dying

[Z32]

Well, my car is running really rich(255 pump and 550 injectors) and i was checking out my fluids and my oil smelled like fuel and i started getting this squeking noise coming somewhere from the cams, so I decided to change my oil. I ended up overfilling the car with oil, but the car started and drove better then ever before. Well now i'm having a hard time starting, once I do get it to start it dies again in about 5 seconds even if I rev it to 2k-3k and keep it there..BTW I still get that squeking noise..Could it be because I put in too much oil? My Oil Pressure is fine and my check engine light is on(It's always on, but I don't have a laptop top do a diagnostic through a TechnoMotive datalogger). Can anyone help?

buy a decent code puller off ebay for 60 or something. even though youve had the CEL for awhile, there could be new codes explaining your issue

$5 and a trip to Radio Shack will net you a code read reader for a 1G.
All you need is something that doesn't draw a lot of current like a simple 12v piezo buzzer to put across pins 1 (positive) and 12 (ground) and count the beeps.

I hope in the time since you first posted this, that you have gone and drained out the extra oil. Tomorrow go read the codes and post the results.

Ok, after I drained some oil the car started right up but I still got the Check Engine light on. I think I'll have a friend come over with his laptop and we'll use my technomotive datalogger cable for the diagnostic.

Btw the squeking noise is coming from my accesorie pullie. It needs to be replaced.
