Oil Leaking

I did take the coil bracket off, and yes, I made sure I put that ground back on. I took a picture of it before I took it off so I knew exactly where to put it. I was just reading a post on here of a guy that put the ground wire on the wrong bolt and his car wouldn't start so I was concerned with that and made sure I didn't make a similar mistake. And anyways, I am still getting spark so I assume it's grounded properly? I was reading something about security system though. I am leaving the key in the car for 10 minutes in the on position to make sure the car knows this key is the right key to start the car. The reason I think this is a problem is because whenever my car died, I had to unlock it with the clicker before I could even open the door to the car. And, since the battery was unplugged for a few days, I am assuming that the car needs to re-learn the proper key and everything. I tried unlocking the car with the clicker and it won't lock or unlock using the clicker. I can, however, pop the trunk using the clicker..
 


thats odd. try using the spare key.

the security light flash or stay on?

and all the sensors and injectors and all are plugged in too right?
 
Triple and quadruple checked all the sensors, they are plugged in. All the injectors are also plugged in. I left the key on for like 11 minutes, turned it off, tried starting it and same issue. I don't know what else to do.... Getting air, spark, and the fuel rail is pressurized. I don't know what else to check. The only thing I can think is that the injectors aren't fueling? Why wouldn't they be spurting fuel..
Also, I have an aftermarket radio so it doesn't tell me anything about the security =/
I still think there is a security issue because my clicker still doesn't lock or unlock the doors. I don't know what to try with that though.
 
Dumb question, but the wires are going to the correct cylinders right??

Front bank is 1,3,5 and rear is 2,4,6 from left to right.

Tried unplugged the MAF and then starting it?
 
Yup, even checked the wires to make sure they were going to the correct cylinders. They are =/
Haven't tried the MAF sensor, but would that make it so the car wouldn't start? I did just clean it like a week ish or so before I tore the car apart
 


Right. Nothing makes it start. Foot off gas, partially on gas, completely on gas. Doesn't seem to make a difference. I still find it weird that I can't lock or unlock my car with the clicker, I read somewhere that if the security is freaking out it won't let the injectors fire. Trying to do some research on that right now
 
The security light doesn't come on, and no security light appears on my dashboard or anything. I was reading that the security light is on the radio? But I have an aftermarket radio.
 


Its in the cluster, over the mph.

Double check any IGN fuses too, odd chance that one is popped.


If that doesnt work, I'm out of ideas. My check list is about done up, if the plug wires are correct, the sensors are good, its got fuel at the rail and its got spark I confused as to why its not atleast running for 2-3 seconds.
 
Right, I'm confused as well... I just checked the fuses on the inside, I guess wouldn't hurt to check the fuses by the battery. I guess I'll check that then return with the update. And nope, no security light appearing on the dashboard anywhere =/
 
Checked all the IGN fuses, they are all fine. I am literally stumped right now and have absolutely no idea of what to look for now..
 
All of a sudden my clicker started working. I can now lock and unlock my car using the clicker, but it still won't start.
 
Car runs now. Yay. Sounds and feels like it's still misfiring though and it's pressurizing the oil to the extent that it pushes the dipstick out and a plume of smoke comes out of where the oil pours in. The engine is a bit warm right now so once it cools enough I'll try to check the spark plugs again to see if they are covered in oil again.. I don't know what to do.
 


you checked the pcv valve right? took it out shook it? should feel a ball bouncing around inside it. and you should hear it rattle. the O ring is good still and all that?

maybe the blower is clogged up to the pcv?

your dip stick pushing out is not good. if its not the pcv it could be chipped pistons or bad piston rings causing all this.
 
I think I only saw 1 o-ring? I took the black cap thing off, pulled out the spring which brought the valve out as well, the o-ring was out of place so I put it back in at the bottom so it sat correctly and then put the new valve on top, put the spring on the valve, and bolted the black plate back down. The only part that came out was the old valve and the spring, and all I put back was the new valve, the old spring, and the plate holding it down. Did I miss something?
