2001 p.t. cruiser 2.4l non-turbo with 81000 mi. had just had oil change & tire rotation about 15 miles prior to malfunction . noticed oil light on, checked & level fine. proceeded, then a few minutes later it stalled while going down highway (xmas eve). openned hood & could smell oil but none seen & level still fine. let it set 10 minutes or so & it restarted but strange engine noise prompted me to shut it off & have towed to nearest shop open, which happened to be a chevy dealer. tech started & drove short distance, it died again & failed to re-start again. tech advised battery tested weak, crank position sensor tested bad, oil pressure send unit bad, & sparkplugs fouled. replaced theses items but no start. also tried a new coil, but no luck. fuel pressure & injector function check ok & no codes show..
