Hello! I have a 1999 chrysler lhs. I was driving it today and it ran fine, had a oil change about 3 months ago. But today it just died while driving it. Tried to restart, and nothing. I checked all fluids and realized I had no oil! I filled it with 3 quarts of oil, waited awhile, since it did seem very hot, maybe overheted, 3 hours later still no start. No leaks, no fluids coming out. It sounds ike its ready to turn over, but nothing. Battery is good, etc. Any advice as to if this is the timing belt or anything?

Can you describe any sounds it makes when you try starting it?

Get a compression test done. Seems the low oil level and/or overheating had caused some damage to the engine.
