What happens if oil gets in the crankshaft?
When you add too much oil, the excess oil will go towards the crankshaft, and as the crankshaft rotates at a high-speed, the oil is mixed with the air and ‘aerates’ or becomes foamy. The result is that the spinning crankshaft can aerate the oil, whip it into a froth or foam as it moves through with each revolution.
What does no start no crank no click mean?
If you have a late model GM vehicle and turn the key only to hear nothing, you’ll most likely think you have a dead battery—and you may.

Can a faulty crankshaft sensor cause a car to stop?

Can a bad solenoid cause an engine to crank slowly?
It’s possible for high resistance in the starter solenoid to cause the contacts to burn. As a result, there will be excessive resistance in the starter motor, potentially resulting in an engine that cranks slowly. Once again, this scenario is rather uncommon. Several problems can mimic a bad starter solenoid or starter motor.
