Hello, I recently just changed my oil pick up tube and dropped the pan... Cleaned it up and put fresh oil back in... Once I got everything back together... The car started and I heard some ticking, so I drove it two blocks over and the car completely shut off on me, so I literally had to push the car back home. Once it was home, I put the key in the ignition and the car will not start and I have all light power... Next morning, I took the battery to get tested and they say it was bad so I was like okay maybe this will fix the no start, so I pop that in and crossed my fingers. I literally got nothing, and I still have all light power. So, I went with my next conclusion which was the starter relay... Went and bought that and still no start... Please help.

I believe this is the one that the starter clicks. Is that correct? Are you planning to replace the engine, or do you want to try to fix the present one?

Let me know.

Hi,

I'm getting confused between two different threads with the same issue with different users. Am I correct this is the same person that I was speaking with prior, Lavell 11?

If it is, let's focus on the original post. If it isn't let me know.
