Car not starting

Bad engine ground

Engine cranks but won't start or won't crank at all? Others have broken the oil cooler and lost all the oil but have started the engine anyway for various reasons (later causing greater damage) so I don't think there are blockages that prevent starting without oil. However, I wouldn't try to start it because, if you succeeded, you would cause serious damage.
