Hi, I am getting ready to go on a long trip and I would appreciate any help/advice on this issue. I was changing my oil today and managed to get a poor seal on the new filter (totally my fault - just stupidity) and the oil that sprayed out (yes there was quite a bit) covered the driver's side of the engine compartment.
Well, I got that fixed and cleaned up - filter is fine, all new oil, good pressure, runs well...but now my car won't shut off (without hitting the red stop switch). I cleaned the engine (as much as possible) and don't know if a sensor got damaged or oil covered, or something that I can't see - and I really don't know where to start looking.
As I mentioned, I am going on a long trip this week (which is why I was changing oil, filters, etc) and would really like to fix this.
Any ideas???
The vehicle is a 1984 300 D Turbo.
Thanks
