sorry, i was agitated when i posted it he didnt say put oil where the coolant goes, he said put water where the coolant goes, untill it gets home (about 8 miles). stupid mistake. Anyway, i started it after puting water in the coolant place, and it runs fine. problem is the transmission barely engages. i put it in drive and it has to be at about 4000 rpm just to inch forward. reverse is like 5k.no smoke though, but i only ran it for a couple of minutes. no engine lights come on either. maybe it isnt coolant at all, but trans fluid?
