I'm not sure this belongs in this forum to start, its more for road trip stories etc.
Sounds like a head gasket or intake gasket? Will the car start now?
Is there a SES light on? did you pull any codes (see techinfo for a how to)?

As already mentioned above, you don't need a scantool. Please check Techinfo. Not all stored codes will set an SES light.
Pull your codes, and get back to us.

Well i just thought i would check my plugs, and one plug, the whole damn thing was blown off, no tip, no nothing, stops right at the threads........ dont know what that means, and also all my plugs were really oily, put a new plug in and tried starting but still same thing, turns over just wont start, and whats up with my previous post with the 5 flashes, pause then 8 flashes?
