2001 Mazda Tribute Hi, Less than a month ago our SUV had and oil change, new air filter, coolant flush and transmission flush as routine maintenance. Since then the oil indicator light comes on occasionally, the A/C quit, and now the engine cranks just fine but won't start

What is your question?
We finally tried pumping the gas pedal and it almost started but then misfired (loud pop under the hood). When the key is turned part way there's a high-pitched whirring noise.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2001 Mazda Tribute. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
I would highly recommend getting it to a shop and having it looked at. If the oil light is on that means there is possibly no oil or a oil pump has failed. Don't try to start the vehicle. Have you checked the engine oil level to make sure there is oil?
Thanks for your response. The oil level was good. We hired a licensed mobile mechanic who found the problem. Because of bad gaskets, oil was leaking and filling the ends of some of the ignition coils, causing a short, plus the spark plugs were corroded and needed to be replaced. Materials cost $85 and labor was $280. He also fixed our cruise control (the cable was unplugged) and fixed a coolant leak in the deal. The shop that repaired our A/C this summer will take a look at that problem later. Apparently none of the issues were connected with the servicing done earlier.
