Engine problem
1999 Oldsmobile Alero 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 128000 miles

I have a 99 olds alero, which I purchase 2 months ago no problems. I had the oil change, like a week before I had this problem. My Oil Pressure Light was coming on only when I hit the brake. Shut the car off and cut it back on, that didnt fix the problem. I was on my way home with my 1 yr old daughter about 15 minutes away. I didnt wanna pull on side of the road at 10:00 at night, and couldnt see anything. Lotta crazy weirdos. When I got near the house the car started slowing down to 50 then 30 the servive engine light came on and the trac off light then the change oil light, then it shutted completely down and started smoking. I think I burnt the engine up, I didnt see any oil leak anywhere. Got the car towed to the house checked and it was no oil in it. Haven't tried to put any oil in it yet. What do you think is the problem?

Also, Now the car won't start, also when this happen it cause the car to go dead. It wouldn't make a sound. Then when we jumped it, it seemed like it wanna crank but couldn't. Now my rearview mirror lights flciker?

Hi there,

I think you may have seized the engine, no oil and smoke don't sound good at all, I would put some oil in and pull the spark plugs, try and crank it over with out any compression, if it will not crank, try and turn by hand, if nothing moves, I feel that the engine has seized from lack of oil.
