Evo 8 not starting up

[585tothewheels]

I dont know anything about cars and i bought an 03 evo 8 with 585 hp and i jsut recently ran into a problem. I was beating on it a little bit and that caused a tick to start in my engine. I was driving it home, it stalled out and wouldnt start for about 10 min. I got it started, took it home, checked the oil (no check engine light or oil light ot anylight of the sort was on) the oil was low, i added about a quart and a half to bring it back to where it should be and it started right up. The next day took it out for a little drive and the ticking started again, ticking got louder and then it stalled out again but this time after it stalled the Oil Light went on, the car would not start and i had it towed back to my house and did a full oil change with Mobil 1 fully synthetix 0-40. The car still wont start, does anyone know what the problem could be?

If anyone knows what this could be caused by, please let me know. Id greatly appreciate it

Did you check to see if your drain plug is tight, to make sure you aren't leaking oil? Also, stick your hand down behind your motor, basicly where the head and the block meet. See if you feel oil. Let's start from there, keep us posted.

also what are the mods on the car? is there a puddle of oil under the car after it sits overnight? is this car your daily driver? how long ago did you buy this car and how do you know its got 585 to the wheels?

[585tothewheels]

i just checked it and theres no oil its dry

[585tothewheels]

this isnt my daily car i bought it 2 months ago and i had it tuned where he suggested which was by "turbotrix" in new jersey and they dynod it from 490-585 and theres no puddles under it

What about behind the motor, is there any oil?? When you go WOT, can you tell if your exhaust is blowing smoke?

[585tothewheels]

its not blowing smoke but it did mist out some black stuff..either soot or oil? and i didnt feel oil around the engine

By any chance do you know who installed the cams on the car before you bought it? The ticking could be lifter tick. for the oil, check the feed and return lines on the turbo. And when your car is warm and at an idle, hold your hand at the exhaust. If you end up with oil on your hand, your turbo bearings could be going bad.

[585tothewheels]

The guy i bought it from built it so he installed the cams and i heard that the ticking could be from the lifters from a couple of people now. but as for the oil comming out i cant check that because the car wont start..could the plugs possibly be wet from trying to start it went it stalled?

[SicLanEvo]

does the car start if you push the gas pedal and turn the key? if it does will the car not idle? if thats the case it could be the Idle air control that is what im going thru now. are you tuned on the stock ecu or on a stand alone?

[585tothewheels]

tuned on the stand alone...and when i give it some gas it sounds like its bout to start but then goes back to jsut turnin over

[SicLanEvo]

this was after your recent tune? also what is your full mod list? check spark and fuel to start

[585tothewheels]

the tune was about 2 months ago and i dont know the mods exactly i just know its fully built

This is kinda hard without knowing what mods you have on your car. Is there any way that you can get ahold of the guy to ask him for a mod list? Also, have you checked your spark plugs?
