I bought a 93 celica with what i thought was a slow oil leak, Turns out it wasn't so slow. I stopped my car, reversed and put it in drive. I got about 3 feet before it sputtered out and died. Turns out it had no oil. i put a few quarts in it and it turns over but wont start. What should i check? is there anything that can be done?

maybe not. you may have damaged the motor.

start with a compression test, fuel pressure and spark tests.
