I made a hard right turn and then my car died. I tried to start it again and still nothing. I checked the oil and the dipstick was dry which is weird since I it was full 2000 miles ago. I filled the oil and there were no leaks and no water and the coolant level was full. I tried starting it again and nothing. I figured that when I made the hard right, that the remaining oil in the tank moved away from the oil pump supply catch and the ECU shut it down because of low oil press. so I unplugged the neg. terminal for 1 min to reset the ECU and still nothing. The engine turns over fine, but it seems like there is no ignition at all; not even a spudder.
You need 3 basic principles for your vehicle to start fuel/air, timing and spark. You stated it seems like there is no ignition at all. First, I would pull the easiest spark plug attach the plug wire and set it on the manifold and have someone crank your vehicle with you watching the plug to check for a spark you should have a white/blue spark which denotes a high voltage. Next i'd check for fuel pressure, if you have both i would get a obd (on board diagnostic)scanner and check for trouble codes with koeo (key on engine off) if that doesn't produce any codes check your fuses and most importantly if your oil level on the dipstick was dry its going somewhere whether its a leaking gasket a crack in the engine or blow by figure out where
your vehicle's theft pervention system may have been activated from the sharp turn somehow. This would allow the vehicle to still crank and then die like your not getting any gas. Try this procedure to unlock system. turn key to on position, try to start vehicle, observe security indicator after approximately 10 min it should turn off, turn off ignition wait 10 seconds. your vehicle will now relearn the passlock sensor data code the next time you crank your vehicle. Try this and let me know if it works. IMPORTANT you must turn off and back on after 10 seconds for process to work after or you will need to do procedure over.
not possible no plug wires module ignition with coil pack bolts down on spark plugs on top of head.

In case anybody looks at this from a google link, I had an '04 Classic that wouldn't start also and replace spark plugs, boots, fuel pump relay, and even the battery. Ended up being that I needed a new crank sensor..go figure.
CHECK THE PCM FUSE AND FUEL PUMP FUSE OR RELAY.

I have fuel pressure and I tested the spark and both work fine. I also used a OBD II and no codes came up but thats probably because I rest the ECU. Changed the plugs because they were due for it and the ignition control module and still nothing.
It turns out the time chain went off.
my car starts up and runs fine. is there some other problem that the oil is not getting to the dipstick
