Check your oil level.

Please sell your car to someone who can read a dipstick.

well, assuming he is checking the dipstick correct, at warm, with the car being level,

it could be the oil sensor that the car has...thats broken!

i had that before..camaro oil pressure sensor broke (snapped in half, after clutch install...) and it read 0psi for a while

Please also use correct spelling and grammar. People are much more likely to help you if they don't have to translate misspelled slang.

I'll borrow a picture from S2kman (which I found by searching the forums; a very very useful feature):



See how the 2nd X is not at the H mark. The H mark is where your oil level should be when the oil is hot. If you're reading your oil level from a warm engine and you're seeing only two Xs, then you're probably low on oil. Again, this is assuming you know how to correctly warm up the car, drive it to a level surface, turn it off, pop the hood, pull the dipstick out and wipe it off, wait 5 minutes, insert the dipstick back into the engine (all the way), and then pull it back out and look at it.

Complete sentences and a better attitude would help you here as well.

i really think that he just enjoys making threads that have no meaning, just look at his post history, i mean no one that can drive stick is as ignorant about cars as he seems to be.
