My car will not start.
the motor will not turn over.
i have a new batery, batery cabels, and a new stater.

it still will not start.

befor it died.
i had the oil changed.
then it would not start to even drive out of the place.

iv heard the computer has a censor that tells it that there is no more oil. So it locks the motor up.

is that true. And if so what can I do to reset it.

if not.

what would be the problem.
im afraid that there is a rod broke off into my ingine

Welcome, Did you try cranking in neutral? Can you tell if there is a load on the starter circuit, key in the crank position? Watch the dash lites--dome lit-- headlites anything, with the key in the crank position, any reaction from the lites.

If you think the engine is froze-up. Remove the spark plugs and accessory belt, see if you can turn crank by hand.
