While driving my 92 Accord on the highway the Engine Oil Light came on. I had to drive another 5 kms before to stop the car on a shoulder. While driving a burning smell also filled the car. When I checked the oil level it was OK but car started to drive very rough and I hear valves clicking on acceleration. I took it to my mechanic right away. He changed the oil pressure switch, which was changed 15K kms ago, changed the oil and oil filter, which was again changed 3K kms ago. The light is off now but the driving changed dramatically. I have almost no acceleration. Rough and loud driving as if it always runs on low gear. Pinging on sudden acceleration etc. I was suspecting oil pump but the mechanic told me that if it were the pump the engine would have been seized by now. Could that be an electrical problem such as a cable to ECU sensors got burnt or something. Please help. Thanks.
