change plugs and fuel filter

sounds like a bad connection at the starter itself. have you cleaned the terminals at the starter? what year make and model car is it?

Difficulty is relative to experience. It's not a job for a complete newb to do unless you have a weekend, but if you have a working knowledge of hand tools and some basic mechanic skills, you should be OK to do it within a few hours.

The job does usually require removal of a large percentage of the suspension components of the side you're working on.

before going any further check the fuse. if the fuse is ok it may be the switch itself. There is a relay in the relay box under the hood. you can check the switch with a basic one wire test light. this will allow you to make sure there is continuity between fuse, relay, switch has current going in and out.

remove fuel tank and remove pump from top of tank. may have to replace tank straps also.

Hello Mark.
The next most common thing I would look into here is the oil pressure sensor. They sometimes pull apart and leak at the seam.
Your 2 liter engine has it's sensor on the top left side of the cylinder head.
If the concentration of oil seems to be on the top side of the engine a valve cover gasket may have cracked.
A severe leak will often wash dirt off of an engine so look for an oil washed area. If nothing apparent it may be a good idea to give your engine a quick cleanup to help you find the leak as oil can travel a long way on an engine.
Hope you find the source OK.
Thank you for using FixYa!

does it have the 4 cylinder engine? if yes you could have broken timing belt witch opens and closes intake and exhaust valves. same for V6 engines.the belt must be replaced and engine crank and cam shafts retimed with new belt istallation. one to tell is when cranking the engine turns over kinda fast.

its probably the ignition module in the distributor,can be intermittent,or stop when hot,sometimes module is intergrated into distributor so it may come as 1 unit,fairly common wont fix itself

Hi there, Best thing to do is buy a Haynes or Clinton's repair shop manual at your local AP store for your particular vehicle.

It sounds like you have an emmisions problem. Under your hood there should be a diagram of your emmision system.. Check all lines and elect connections for cracks and bad wires. Does your engine light come on? Most auto parts stores will check for fault codes for free.
