Ok so about a week ago I ended up over filling my oil about maybe alittle more than a half a quart over, I go to start the car, started but was barley goin, sounded like it was going to die then it did. Shit, start it again, kinda did the same thing but I was able to keep it goin with some gas, after a few seconds it was holding its own. Over the next couple days the car would start up fine when the engine was cold, but after a 15 min drive, or a 2 hour drive if i shut it off it would have real trouble starting again. Yesterday I ran a few arons and everytime it started fine after sitting for just a few minutes. I thought everything would be fine but when I got off work go to start the car, it started but was barely runnin for a second or so then died, just wouldnt start this time. The way it sounds when its trying to start reminds me of when my fuel pump went out. And its been runnin poor too, well it runs fine,I meen the power is poor. I can only think that maybe the injectors are clogged. I dont know though, bought new plugs and wires, hopfully those will be in tomorrow. Oh and my check engine light would keep coming on then shut off then come on, that started yesterday though. Does anyone know what this could possibly be, please help.
