At around 6pm or so I went to put a little oil in the engine than around 11pm the car started acting funny like it wanted to cut off. I pop the hood and realize I left the oil cap off. I top off the oil and than put the oil cap BACK ON. I went to start it and the knocking started.... Did the rod go because I forgot to put the oil cap back on?
BTW... Looking for a 3sgte, anyone around philly have one? -------------------- Celica *The Baby Supra*

how low were you on oil?
if you were REALLY low, then all the oil slpattered out of the filler cap and you starved your engine to death. if you were less than a quart low, then your engine was most likely close to dying and you forgetting the cap had no effect on its death but nonetheless your engine is going. before this happened, did you notice it knocking a few times when you start the car, and then it goes away after your oil light goes out? -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
