Default My car doesn't start!!! Help lol

Hey my car has been burning oil from my exhaust because something is obviously wrong with my turbo install. I've ruled out all the main possibilities. My return line is done right, my feed line is fine, but white smoke is coming out of my exhaust at a pretty good rate. Now to top this off my car isn't starting anymore. I have a cel, and it cranks over but it doesn't start. I think my spark plugs are fouled out from idling rich (like 10.5 rich), although my sensors I think are being thrown off by the oil burning in my exhaust, thereby readin much less oxygen than normal. I'm going to replace my spark plugs now to see if this settles the issue of my car starting, but if it doesn't what else can I possibly. There are so many things going wrong right now and I really could use some help. Thanks in advance.

I would look into the charge pipe (outlet of compressor) to see if you are blowing oil into the intake. This would mess up the spark-plugs in a hurry! If the turbine (exhaust side of the turbo) is burning oil this should have no effect on the plugs.

I would start by checking to seee which side of the turbo has the oil. What brand of turbo do you have? Does it use an oil restrictor?

Hope this helps.

Also pull the plugs and see how the tips look. If you are very carefull you can clean them with engine degreaser and an old tooth-brush.

I'm using the turbonetics setup. Also, my car has been leaking oil from the compressor side into the exhaust. In fact before I sent out the turbo to turbonetics, oil would actually ooze at idle and squirt out upon revving between the compressor and and downpipe. Very very strange. Instead of changing my plugs, I'm gonna take out the emanage and see if that makes a difference.

If you are referrring to the Turbonetics kit no gasket comes with it. Both the downpipe and turbine outlet flange are machined flat. If you apply some Permatex high temp RTV per the instructions you don't need one.
