I have a 97 I30 with 150,000 the car turns on but it only revs up to 2500rpm's and when I try to accelerate more the car starts to sound like its clogged. I also tried putting it in drive and as soon as I do that car goes off. also when I when I check the oil the whole stick has oil on it from top to bottum. I have not taken it in to check codes yet but does anyone think they may know what this is?

Chances are a throttle position sensor or MAF sensor. Have the computer scanned to identify where the problem is coming from. Most parts stores will do it for free.
