Oil is coming from pcv or breather pipe. You probably have excessive piston ring wear causing blowby and forcing combustion gasses up the engine and into the breather and pcv system. Oil will come with the gasses if not filtered out. Check the pcv valve for proper operation and check any breather cap for baffles to keep the oil in the valve covers. Also consider getting an engine rebuild, if you want to keep the car.

SOURCE: having problems with my 96 chevy tahoe mass air flow

The MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor is a very common problem with these along with the pickups. This isn't what you would call an inexpensive part. Definitely do some shopping before you buy one.

The MAF is in the flex hose that delivers air to the engine, it has a 5 or 6 wire connector going to it.

SOURCE: 99 Chevy Malibu - auto trans - no dipstick

You have what is called a closed cased transmission. You have to crawl underneathe to get to the tranny and remove the upper bolt close to the side of the case (more towards the bottom of the transmission). When you fill it, you fill it till it starts to drip out of that hole.

Looking for a picture for you.

I changed the raido in my 99 chevy malibu and lost all lights inside and auto lights outside the car will now start but as soon as it does it dies. changed fuel pump and filter the whole ignition thro

Check your fuses, your main power source has failed somewhere. Sounds like it is grounding out. Retake your foot steps and see where you hooked up all your wires. Also check your fuel pump pressure and check your spark. Make sure it is strong. For you to have lost all power, I would check all my fusible links all the way to the starter.

After changing engine all lots of white smoke can out and now the engine will not start

White smoke comes from water, blue from burning oil and black from too rich a fuel mixture. If the engine was running before the oil change occurred then perhaps you put in far too much oil. This can force oil past seals and into the combustion chamber resulting in thick smoke. Carefully check the oil level on the dip stick for the correct fill level. If there is too much you must remove the overfill. If oil has entered the combustion chamber the plugs may be fouled. Pull one out and examine it. If it is not gray and clean you must clean them all before the spark will jump the gap and the engine can run. If the engine did not run before there is a great chance , based on white smoke, that water is entering the combustion chamber.

2006 Dodge Ram 1500 code p1128 and p1129

The prevalent cause is the fouling of the O2 sensors in the exhaust pipe and the catalytic convertor(s). This usually caused by the fuel not burning correctly in the combustion chamber. And this can be caused by: bad/no spark in combustion chamber due to weak plugs or electrical going plug coil packs; partially plugged fuel injectors and result being too much un aspirated fuel entering the combustion chamber; bad or old fuel, improper fuel octane for engine.

Suggest you fuel up asap with PREMIUM fuel (for 1 tank) and 1 can super concentrated injector cleaner for next 2 tanks. Check air filter clean. Check air intact air analyser sensor wire is clean, pull the plugs and check condition and gap, replace them if fouled or worn.

You are getting oil in the cylinder and that is fouling your plugs. I would guess your piston rings are bad letting oil up into the combustion chamber or it is leaking down from the head through the valve guides. Good luck

Mercedes benz c200

A mass airflow sensor or air sensor is a device used in fuel injected engines to measure the mass, amount or weight of air passing through it. They are placed on the intakes which deliver air into the engine's combustion chambers. You can refer this link http://www.buyautoparts.com/mass-air-flow-meter.html to learn about mass air flow sensor.

Fuel in my oil 6.6 durmax

1.Check your fuel injectors, they may be over fuelling the combustion chambers they may need replacement.

2.Check your oxygen air flow sensor.

If problem persists, then you might consider an engine overhaul, since
your compression rings allow fuel to sip through to the oil sump.
