I don't think pulling the oil pan is going to tell you anything.
You need to start with the basics.
First what happened when it quit running on you out on the road?
Did it just die like turning off a light switch?
Were there any odd sounds?
Did it shake or buck?
Any smells???
Any smoke out the tailpipe?
Need to know what your senses were telling you when it died.
Anything out of the ordinary???
Second any modifications to the car????
How many miles on it?
Third Did you get a CEL or any lights on the dash when it died?
Fourth hook up a good scanner and look for codes and pending codes.
If you have a code or codes retrieve the freeze frame info.
Then you can go to things like verifying correct fuel pressure, pull the spark plugs and look at the conditon of them. oil fouled???? burned up??? things like that. they can tell you alot.
possible failed AOS???? I see lots of blue smoke in the video., correct ignition timing, correct valve timing, correct compression.
Follow basic diagnostic procedures.
Simplest things first work step by step to the most complex.
Oh ya which relay or relays did you replace or swap?
Have you had any previous problems with it?
Pulling your spark plugs is one of the first things I would do.
The smoke from the exhaust looks like oil smoke need to see the condition of the plugs.
Take a picture of them and post it if you can.
From what I see in the video they should show oil fouling.
If they are that will make the car run like crap.
When you pull them label them with the correct cylinder. Cyl1 cyl2 cyl3 ect.ect.
that way we know which cylinders and which bank are having issues.
