Just drove the my 1993 SC300 on a small 150 mile road trip last night with no problems whatsoever. As I'm leaving this morning I turned the key and it started up with no problems. As I was pulling out of the parking lot after about 50 feet the car just lost power and coasted as if I had run out of gas. I parked and tried to start it back up but it won't start. It makes the usual cranking noise as if it's trying to start but it won't. Not sure what's happening here. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, when it lost power, the battery light and oil light came on. And every time I turn the key in the ignition the oil light pops back up, checked the oil and it was almost empty, barley touching the tip of the stick (I know, should have checked that before I went on the trip) put more oil in but it still won't start.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Could be fuel pump or fuel ECU

try jumping +b and fp in the diagnostic port with a paper clip, turn key on, and see if you can hear fuel running through the fuel rail.

Does the check engine light come on with the other lights? battery light and oil light are dummy lights that will be on when the car dies, if the CEL isn't on with those at key on then your ecu is dead.

Yeah when my keys are in the check engine light is on with the other lights.

Side note though. Just got the car out of the shop the day before and forgot to check the oil. So when it died I checked the stick, and there was hardly any oil there it was below the LOW mark... I know that's bad, but hope it didn't mess anything up.

So if I hear fuel running through the fuel rail, what does that mean?

Same thing happened to meon the freeway Thursday...your fuel pump ecu probably gave out

Did you put oil in it? I'd probably do that first. Fuel running through the rail means the pump is working. And do your hear fuel running with the paper clip in the diagnostic port? Try starting it after you put some oil in it

MrGoldfish

Tried starting it after I put more oil in. Nothing... Still won't turn over. I'm not sure what you saying exactly about jumping the diagnostic port. When I put the paper clip in +B and FP on the port, I'm jumping it like a car battery? Sorry bro I'm a little new to this. But I'll try anything, I'm stuck 150 miles away from home with no money for a mechanic, so all suggestions will be attempted haha

2jznosht, what happened to your ride? You get it fixed?

2jznosht fixed the issue by using the well-known SC 12v Fuel pump ECU mod. The thread is on this forum so search for it.
