I was driving home the other day and went over this dip,
I guess I was going too fast for cause I bottomed out
and ripped off the oil filter, Immediately after that the oil light
came on and I shut the car off, I walked home to get the pickup and
a friend to tow me home, Now it starts but its hella hard to start
when its cold, When its warm it starts right up!
Any suggestions?

 

what kind of car do you drive???

 

chances are a 4g63 or a 4g64 because the oil pan is the lowes point in the 420a motor.... trust me on that one.

 

has it always been hard to start in the cold or just after you ripped your oil filter off

 

I bet its because its just becuase its cold out, try changing your plugs and wires.

 

yeah i was about to say welcome to the dsm world!!!!! all of mine have been hard to start except the evo

 

I have a 99gs with the 420a engine

 

It's be pretty impossible to rip the filter off without doing SIGNIFICANT damage to the oil pan.. you sure your filter is what came off?

I am sure!!!!
I was replaced the filter and there was no problems.
until today when I was driving on the freeway when
the oil light came on again and the engine seized,
Now it starts but theres hella noise coming from under there
I Blew it up for sure,
Should I replace or junk it?

 

If the motor sezed I wouldent be supprised that its making noise. I bet a dollar that your spun a bearing on cyl 1. It depends on how much you like the car and how much its worth to you. Be expccted to pay somewhere around 1500-2000 for a repair like that.
