Why would you pull one spark plug? That will make an S run like crap, and kill the coil on most other honda's. Just pull the fuel pump fuse under the dash.

Pulling one plug would keep the motor from starting. He would only need to turn it over a few time to see the oil pumping up the motor. Pulling the fuel pump fuse works as well. There are many ways to do this, I'm just trying to give the op some ideas for his problem.

Unless the S2k is that far different from an Integra, I was able to start my teg on 3 cylinders, even on 2 if I gave it gas (swapped plug wires by accident).

well, according to the shop, the oil lines coming from the oil relocation kit were backwards, that why it was no oil press.

You guys are totally missing the point for the OP. Also, swapping plug wires wouldn't stop the car from starting. Taking off a plug wire completely would. You just screwed up the firing sequence. I suggested eliminating spark to the plug completely. Like I said before, either way, it was just to keep the car from firing after a couple turns.

Did you pull the lines to drain the oil?

This is my theory:

some oil filters have a check-valve built into them. Maybe the OEM ones that he's been running didn't have one, so the mixed-up lines were pumping oil in the wrong direction. Now that he's switched to Mobil1, which has the checkvalve, oil got stopped.

OP?
