Just fixed the valve covers and now the car wont stay crunk up

Oil in the distributor will do that. But why is oil getting in there? The positive crankcase ventilation(PCV valve) should prevent this. Plus the should be one seal on the distributor and /or cam. I would pull the distributor and check for sloppiness. Also check for the cap seal. Oil could be from the valve cover.

check the power in your battery is ok. then check the wiring to your solenoid on top of your starter.

the iac ( idle air control ) needs cleaned or replaced. it controls the idling of vehicle. Also, try cleaning your throttle body. It's probably quite filthy. you can use carb cleaner to clean iac. but do not put body of iac in any liquid, just clean the valve on end. do not push it in they are preset for proper idle. have a good day !!

Yes, this vehicle is equipped with a PCV valve!

It is located underneath the intake manifold, slightly above the oil filter.

Although difficult to see, if you look from the driver's side through an opening under the intake manifold, you'll see a sensor. Look to the left of the sensor and slightly below for your PCV valve.

It is a little elbow with a clamp and may be covered in oil.

Your patience and dexterity will be tried, however you can replace it yourself.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

What do you mean it wont stay crunk?


If you mean it wont stay running, you probably got some wires in the wrong location, or you didnt hook up the ignition wire.

depends where the oil came from.of it has leaked down from a valve cover gasket,that is not hard to fix.if it a leaking valve seal that is expensive and if the head gasket is leaking,expensive.look at the outside edge of the valve cover,and check the edge for oil.if there is alot of oil,by the time the plug is unscrewed oil can go inside.the oil would burn off,so if there is oil inside it is dripping down probably from a valve seal.take off the valve cover and inspect the seals they are probably no good.there are 2 seal sets,one is in the valve cover,and that results in oil on the outside of the plug,and the actual valve seal which results in oil in the inside of the engine.

Do your switch turn over? You have to have the cover on top of the motor on before it will start!

check battery for dead cell sounds like there's not enought life in battery.if battery o k then check fan belt for tightness then check altenator

there is an idle control valve at the throttlebody usually sticks try tapping on it if the idle is ok the valve needs replacement

spray both door latches with penetrating oil and open and shut the doors numerous time... should fix the problem
