Ok here's the deal I checked my oil level because it had been leaking (rear main seal I think) and noticed it was very low, so I decided to just change it(had no problems at this time). This last weekend I changed it and ever since at idol the oil pressure would sit at 0 then when I gave it gas it would go up, depending on how much gas I was giving it it would increase pressure. I also noticed that when it would sit and idol for an extended period (I.E. warming it up) there would be a pronounced ticking sound I never heard before. Well anyway's I drove downtown from the base here to be shown an apartment and on my way back I lost power and the engine started to overheat...I though maybe my fan belt broke but when I popped my hood it was fine...I started it again after it cooled and tried to drive the temp was ok but I had hardly any power, like it was running on only 2-3 cylinders and well I didn't get very far before it died. I sat for awhile and tried to start it again and the starter (new starter) just strained and wouldn't turn the motor hardly....my battery power was good so yeah I think somehow I seized up my engine...I towed it to a place for them to look at it and am waiting for the dreaded call, I just wanted to see what you guys thought it might be?
