Won't start after oil change

[ryankokesh]

Nothing out of the ordinary... went to turn it on to run a few mins before I rechecked the oil level, and just got nothing.

It could be a bad starter or fuel pump, but what are the odds that they'd fail exactly when I changed the oil? Also, the fuel pump has already been replaced...

I'm betting on fuel filter being clogged

...it could be the fuel pump, but you said you changed it already. Sounds like no fuel

[ryankokesh]

Could spark plugs have anything to do with it?

I should just try replacing the filter though...

Theoretically yes... I don't know how to check for spark on a car with pencil coils, but that also would mean that all 6 of your cylinders decided to go bad at the same exact time which is very unlikely. I still would bet on no fuel to the engine

I'll just take a wild guess, if you have a spare (old) spark plug, plug it into the coil and crank it the motor (someone will have to help you there). It should fire. At least you'll know if there's power to the plugs.

Also, could be the fuel pump relay. That actually makes sense to me as the likely cause. You can just swap it with the horn relay and test that way

Edit: check the fuse for the fuel pump both in the glove box and the engine bay (the drug bin on the drivers side). That would be a quick and easy fix

Edit2: if you test for spark and it exists, and you have fuel, it's likely you camshaft position sensor

Did you try going back to the old oil?

[ryankokesh]

I'm fairly certain I heard the fuel pump running....

Did you try going back to the old oil?

Hahaha...I was almost at that point.

Do you have any carb cleaner or something to that effect?
