why isnt it starting

It was out of oil for a day or so and you drove it is the engine locked up?

i honestly dont know thats why i talk to yall to find out my info about my cars

Get a wrench and see if you can turn the crank pulley by the center bolt?

if i cant its locked up

Yes it should turn freely. if you ran without oil it's probably locked up.

and if its locked up theres really no way to fix it except getting another engine

Your best that would be to find a good used engine.

ok thanxs and do u have a diagram of where the crank pulley is on my engine its a 4 cylinder ecotech supercharged 2.0

It's the bottom pulley with a big bolt going through it.

ok ill find it thanks

Your welcome keep me posted.

ok sure will

ok so its not a locked up motor what else could it be

When trying to start it is a security light on solid are flashing?

its a soild when i stick the key in and when i turn the key fully the security light cuts off

With the key in the run position what is security light doing?

its just a solid could that be why its possibly not starting

Yes if its on solid then there is a issue with your security system.Most likely a bad iginiton switch.The only way to tell for sure is have your body control module scanned for codes.If you have a b3033 and or b2960 bad ignition switch.

is there any other way to get that checked because my bcm isnt working

Why do you think the bcm isn't working?

im not sure to be honest i had a buddy from autozone come and test it and he said that its not reading anything

Just the basic tester will only read engine and transmission codes not body control module codes. it takes a advanced expensive scan tool to read body control module codes. so does their basic scan tool power up of the OBD 2 connector? if not you have a blown fuse.

what would the fuse be marked if i did have the blown fuse stopping them from reading it

So did the scan tool not power up off your car?

In the underhood fuse box its labeled lighter fuse its a 15amp fuse see if its blown.

yes that fuse was blown i can go get another one today and i went to try and start the car again yesterday and that security light wasent solid when i turned the key to the on postion

That fuse being blown will not cause a car not to start. it will only cause the scan tool not power on and the lighter not to work. you can try getting the code read at the auto parts store but they're not going to be able to tell you any body control module codes.

i understand that but what i mean is the car almost started yesterday and then it died out maybe 10 seconds later so i dont think it can be the it can be the ignition switch thats not causeing it to start is there any other thing that could possibly cause it not to start

You said the security light was on solid when it wouldn't start so that would tell me most likely a bad ignition switch. you can check for fuel pressure see what it is.

how would i go about doing that and idk if it was just dion that as a one time thing with the solid security light cuz ive has issues with it starting in the past so it might be that

You can rent a fuel pressure gauge at auto zone also get a noid light also to check for injector pluse.Let me know when you get them and I will give you further instructions.

ok now nevermind about any of that it cranks now and runs fine except 1 little issue is has a knocking sound coming from the engine it sound like its on the left side of it if your at the front of the car do you have any idea what might be causeing that issue

Sounds like you spun a rod bearing from the lack of oil and now you have a rod knock.

well i did a little bit of research myself is there any possibilty that it could be the balance shaft sprocket also cause a bunch of people have had the same issue with the car and they found out that it was a loose shaft sprocket

Did they also run there cars out of oil?the balance shaft sprocket doesn't loosen up from no oil.Didn't this noise start after you ran it out of oil?

no but it got louder after i found out it was ran with no oil cuase ive had a knock coming from it before too

When you run a engine low or out of oil the first thing that usually happens is the rod bearings start siezing then they break free and start moving in tbe rod between the crank and the rod.Other things happen also but the rods are usually the noisiest.You may have muktiple issues now since the low no oil issues.you can take a long screwdriver to help pin point where the noises are coming from.

how would i do that???????

Take a long screwriver and touch differenr parts of the engine with the screwdriver up to one of your ears.It always works great for me.

ok ill see what i can do and with it havin an issue to crank would that be the same as what you where saying before or could it be what i said or the starter going out
