I bought a 01 or 00 mazda millennia super charged car from a guy n he thought that one of the rods were broke or cracked. So I pulled the oil pan off and when I did there was a lot of gas in the oil. So then I got to looking and there was no broken rod or cracked rod. But the rod bearing caps were a little wore out, so I replaced the rod bearing caps from bottom of oil pan, I put it all back together and tried to start it, and it fires like it wants to start, but it just wont stay running. Then I checked the oil and there was gas in the oil again, and I could see a little oil dripping from the exhaust under the car. What could be causing this? And how do I fix it? Any ideas?

The fuel in the oil has most likely washed out and destroyed the cylinders causing no or low compression. Take out the spark plugs and rent the compression tester from the local parts store. It just screws in the plug holes. You should have at least 75 psi and not more than 15 psi between cylinders
