Default HELP! engine locked up!!

i need help!!i have a92 stealth 5-spd that i just got a little over a month ago and its been running fine until last night i was driving on the interstate and the engine started to make noise like the metal was scraping together. so i decided to pull over and i put it in neutral as i was turning in then the car stalled. i checked the oil gage and it was on empty which doesnt make sense bc i just put oil in it 1700 miles ago. when i checked the dipstick there was NO oil in it so i dont know where it all went and why. and i put more oil in it and now ...the car just wont start. anyone know how this could happen and if it could have started bc the water fuse was messed up??

ps. the previous owner changed the oil every 3000miles

well, it might had a sensor go busted and let all the oil out, and i think if you let you engine run out of oil once, it's cheaper to buy another engine

If you did in fact run the engine out of oil, it is FUBAR.

what does "FUBAR" stands for? some thing like "far under beyond all repair" or something?

Um, the cleanest way I can say it is "Fouled Up Beyond Repair"
