Default Please help!!

K. I have recently replaced my crankshaft pulley and csp position sensor. The problems I'm having is rough Start. It'll turn over for a really long time. Then while it's idling it will sputter then when I drive it still will sputter and seems as if it skipping or cutting out. Also the check engine light is on. And the check gauges light comes on and the oil pressure gauge goes way down and it says it's overheating but the heater doesn't even blow hot?? Please help me I'm trying to sell it and need it to run half decent.

Let's start with some basics.
1. What year and engine?
2. Why did you replace those parts? Was it running like this before the parts replacement?
3. Have you checked to see which codes are stored?

Actually sounds like it could be more than one issue. Personally, I'd probably start by checking the codes and testing fuel pressure.

Check the codes before you start throwing money at it.

Check coolant level not going to get heat if there not enough coolant to flow to the heater core and if there not enough coolant to get to heater core your going to over heat the crap out the engine
