pawosd,
I shut down as soon as I saw the pressure was at 0-- not sure when that was in the oil -loss scenario. Yes, it was running, and seemed to idle fairly nicely. Busy, the presure showed 2 in the garage, which was about normal for this vehicle at idle. When I pressed the gas, it went up to 3, so I took it out for a spin. The car simply died one block away (going up a hill).

When I try to start it, the engine gave one, two, or sometimes three "ruh's" (usually one) and then nothing. Jumping had no effect.
Thanks,
Brian
