2001 p.t. cruiser 2.4l non-turbo with 81000 mi. had just had oil change & tire rotation about 15 miles prior to malfunction . noticed oil light on, checked & level fine. proceeded, then a few minutes later it stalled while going down highway (xmas eve). openned hood & could smell oil but none seen & level still fine. let it set 10 minutes or so & it restarted but strange engine noise prompted me to shut it off & have towed to nearest shop open, which happened to be a chevy dealer. tech started & drove short distance, it died again & failed to re-start again. tech advised battery tested weak, crank position sensor tested bad, oil pressure send unit bad, & sparkplugs fouled. replaced theses items but no start. also tried a new coil, but no luck. fuel pressure & injector function check ok & no codes show..

I would venture a guess....you are at the wrong dealer...Never heard of so many parts thrown into a car with no results...Have them check to see if there is an ignition disable with no oil pressure, many cars have it now to try and keep enginges from being ruined...By the way after all these parts what is the result? does it crank but fail to start? or does it do nothing?
