well i have looked and looked and can't find the problem with my car so I am going to finish replacing the parts that i know are bad (just a knock sensor at this point) and then take it to a dealer and pay them to tell me why my car wont start... i am interested to find out what they have to say since this all started with a simple belt change

PS, AC and Alt... there is a long thread i authored detailing what happened and what i've tried, but basiclly i can only start my car while giving it gas, the moment i stop it dies and while running it spits liquid out of the exhaust (which appears to be oil)

You sure it's oil? Condensation from exhaust will be the same colour.

all cars when they sit for a while you get condensation -you need to get the car up to temp before it is evaporated or burned --its not oil
