no i did not replace the crankshaft position sensor.. do u think that could be the problem?? i guess i could try the compression test when i get home from work.. whats a leak-down test?? also my dad seems to think the computer might need reset,, how would i go about doing that??

I think using the old sensor is fine. Whatever it is, it needs to have the relearn procedure done if you keep getting the P0300 code. I reset mine a bunch of times while trying to fix it and it always came back.

This explains leak down testing: Leak-down tester - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I would probably only do a leak down test if the compression test doesn't show anything wrong. But, if things are bad enough for the engine to run that badly, you'll probably see problems with the compression test.

If he's not also getting a P1336, I think it is unlikely that a relearn procedure will help. P0300 just indicates a misfire...which sound like it it a pretty obvious misfire from his description.

The getting burned with hot water problem indicates a mechanical problem (leak) that a computer reset wouldn't help...unless the getting burned with hot water part was do to someone flushing the toilet when you were in the shower.

Gas mixing with the oil in the head? How do you know it is happening in the head? I would tend to think an injector is stuck open but that is just a guess.

How bad were the pistons damaged and were they replaced?
