Its from the starter. It will engage the fly but wont crank over and i believe from preassure build up. But why is it building preasure in the pistons.
Possibly cause after i crank it a few times times it will fire but only after i took the spark plugs out then put them back in. And it starts right up and after a couple cranks.
So it will start. And i do believe it is hydro lock. The oil smells alittle like gas but havent noticed levels rising ill check that tomorrow. The sparkplugs were fowled for sure they were black. I will replace them but im eanting to fix it all so it wont happen again.
Sorry for being confusing its hard to explain online
Ok, so, it's likely not hydrolock, else there would be a LOT of gas in the oil. I would more suspect you have multiple problems, one being temp related. (as in, a temp sensor somewhere) and the other being a dying starter.
There is a difference between not cranking and not starting. If it wont CRANK, the issue is either starter, starter relay, ignition or current flow issue. Swap relay with identical relay in underhood fuse panel to start. Also if starter simply clicks, have someone knock it with a hammer while you turn the key to crank position. If it jumps to life, then it's your starter.
Have you checked fuel injectors or a purge solenoid ? . Either one of these having issues can possible cause it to place fuel in the intake manifold that the engine controller (PCM) won't know about, but will not affect starter , that's a different issue
