Yeah long as it aint oil pressure i think it will be something stupid. Theres a lot of wiring modification done in this car with gauges and grounds and **** being taken out reinstalled etcetera.
But yeah if it was taking a while to start up because it was needing oil pressure then thats a bad sign

It does but i think thats because i replaced my coolant tank and the new one didnt have the level meter thing in it. My fix was to rip the level deal out of the old one and tape it to the sensor plug so it doesnt set the code but doesnt seem to work.

Yes. Im this close to kicking my fenders and bashing my windows lol. So i gave up and not gonna touch it. Let matt take care of it haha
So simple checklist:
Fuel pressure
Injector signal
Spark at plug
Coil signal
Functional Crank position sensor
Cam sensor isn't really relevant because the car WILL start with it unplugged, assuming no other issues.
Do you have all of those?

Injector signal: no idea how to check, but considering all my plugs were soaked in fuel id say i have injector.
Speaking of that- is there any chance there is so much fuel in the engine that its contaminating the oil or that it will he harmful to start the engine?
Spark at plug: dont know how to check
Coil signal: think so because of spark plug tester
Crank sensor: check, brand new one and working harness

leave it to us. we will get it handled for you. the issue obviously lies deeper then the basic routine stuff.
as far as your oil goes when we get the car up and running i would recommend changing it out before you continue regular driving.
