My Voyager has been running great, but a couple of days ago, when I tried to start it, nothing happened when I turned the key. The dash lights when on, but the van wouldn't start until I pressed the gas pedal. Took it into my mechanic who said I was almost out of oil ( I had checked it fairly recently) and there was gas mixed in with it. Added a couple of quarts of oil and stuff to help it start - ran well for a couple of days. Problem is starting again and the oil level is low again. They mentioned something about replacing the computer, I'm hoping it's a module only. Any ideas? Thank you!

Have you checked for an oil leak? If you have and there's no oil leak - Check your coolant for Oil if there is oil in your coolant you most likely have a Blown Head Gasket.

The gas in the crank case(oil) is usually a leaky Injector(s). However, it should cause a cylinder misfire code to be set.
