then get some oil.
probably somethingi else but get some oil.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

well i don't wanna if its not the problem i cant just dump a quart of oil in there and expect it to run like that because if oil is fine then that means 4qt oil + 1qt= 5qts too much~CB7 Phoenix~

first off you havent told me any symptoms. Does it crank, does it crank slow, does it start sometimes or did it work then you did some work to it. does it do it in the morning, only when its hot...things like that.
and you would KNOW there is enough oil if you check that little thing that goes into your oil pan called the dipstick, usually its on the drivers side of the car right behind the power steering pump. and you would know if you had enough if you looked to see if that oil was between the 2 dots. im not saying just add a quart even though there is enough fluid in there. use common sense.
and if ur 1 quart low on oil just put some anyway. its like saying since your tire still rolls you dont need to put air in it yet.
otherwise there is no way that anyone can help you. ANYONE.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

Still no description of the actual fault.
Does the car crank at all?
Did it just not start one day, or has it been getting worse over time?
Where is the oil reading on the dipstick right now?
Theres hundreds of reasons why cars won't start - Broken cambelt, main relay, starter motor, fuel pump etc.
But we can't help you properly without any info

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.
