Hi Portland,

Have you tried resetting the security system? With the engine light and no OBDII codes, I would suspect it as the won't start issue.

"went in for CA smog", was that the California EPA test and did it pass?

"oil lvl sys prob", I would have thought that this one would cause a OBDII code to be produced. Even though it sounds like it would keep the engine from running, it should throw a trouble code.

The AC not working shouldn't keep the engine from starting.

If resetting the security system don't fix the start issue, post back and we can try some old fashion troubleshooting.

Best regards,
Mack1
