Default 03' , car wont start

So I replaced the engine with a 60k engine, a few month ago. Been driving it for about 2 weeks. I drove above 80 miles and then I got stuck in traffic. Car started to idle funny, it would stick up at about 2000rpm. Check engine light came on and started to run like shit. Pulled over turned the car off and it will not start. It will just keep cranking. I let the car sit pulled the coil packs and there a good amount of oil in #1 and #3 cylinder. I cleaned out the oil in each cylinder and put everything back. Car would not turn over. I pulled all 4 injector connectors and car would car but then soon die after 4 seconds. I then put each one back on, one by one and one the last one it kicked over and stayed on. Now idles okay, was about 1.5k rpm. I needed to get the car back to my job which was 3 minutes up the road. Once I moved the car the rpm shot up to 3000rpm and wouldn't go below unless I clutched in and went to take off in first. If I put the clutch in neutral shot up to 3000k rpm.

Next day let the car sit over night, I pulled the ecu "Back up" fuse and let it sit, back in and started right up no problem like everything was fine. Let it sit for about 5 mins and then rpm started to climb. Sat at about 2300rpm untill I shut off the engine. Now same thing wont crank over again.

When i pulled codes. It was primary o2 and air pump high voltage. I had done the izzeracing air pump delete two days prior

Car has exhaust, and intake. stock ecu.

When i turn the key I hear the whine for 3 seconds from the rear,which is assumed the fuel pump. When i try cranking I do smell fuel in the cockpit

any idea?

You have a fuel leak or vacuum leak somewhere.

Oil in the cylinders is bad news... someone else can chime in on that part.

Smelling gas is probably the culprit. Gas, spark, and compression = running engine. I'm not sure what you meant by 3 seconds whining from the rear though, unless it's completely shot. The pump location is behind the drivers seat in the area in the trunk where the spare tire is. I'd pull off the trunk liner and start looking around with a flashlight.

If you have a pump semi working, it makes sense for the engine to start after sitting for awhile, then the ECU compensating for lack of fuel by increasing RPM idle? May be wrong on that.

I have read that someone similar to be who couldnt car start only from pulling the ignition connectors, was a bad ECU. Could be possible since I did the izzy racing mod the next before and was by the ECU.

The oil in the cylinders i am assuming is a value cover gasket, which I already order a kit for the gasket and spark plug tube seals to replace that. I am thinking this is three different issues? The oil in the plugs, Not starting, and the Idling?

So i just went out to the car again, and it started. It was running with alot of smoke out of the tail. Im assuming since its got alot of gas in the engine/oil now. I pulled code p0132 and p1106, Same it stay on, idle high. I drove it around the block. When im cruising it seems like shifting and everything. If i go in high gear it will drop down to 1.2k rpm. Once i go into neutral it would go up to 2.5k rpm. One thing that worries me is the temp guage doesnt move, its on 1 bar. but the fan does come on. When the fan comes on the rpms drop, when the fan goes off. They go back up to 2.5k rpm.

Man it sounds like you have a bunch of things going on now. It's time to bring in the expertise of billman.

Smoke = oil is my understanding, not gas. Burning oil = bad news.

Best wishes dude!

Thanks man, Not sure if it was blue or white. But think the starting is more of an issue.

It seems it will only start once it been sitting. +5 hours. Say every morning.
My idea is to test the coil packs, since they were covered in oil one might be fried even tho I just replaced all four. I already have the value cover gasket kit on its way to solve that issue. The engine has 60k miles with 250 comp across the board before i bought it. I am going to test the ecu with a replacement. How do I do this if i just want to test it due to the immobilizer? will it let me start it?

Any opinions please

So I fixed the car it ended up being the Izzeracing Mod. I went to relook at my wires I tapped into. Once i touched one my rpms dropped to normal and my temp guage went up to 3 bars. Not sure if I just got a bad mod or maybe something I did. I am going to end up emailing Izze Racing Mod and see what they say mabye sent me another mod
