QuestionI have a 97 Achieva LS. The oil pressure switch leaked. It sprayed oil over the whole left side of my engin. I changed the oil switch. After I changed the switch my engin would not start. The solinoid would click but nothing more would happen. I change the started but this did nothing.
AnswerHi Robert,
Just the oil spraying on the side of the engine wouldn't hurt anything, including the starter.
But if a bunch was drawn into the air intake, it could have coated the Mass Airflow Sensor, and caused it to not read correctly.
Here is a good link about cleaning them.
It is a Ford link, but well written, and they do the same thing.
