CHECK GAUGES: Zero Oil Pressure reading-
First had this problem on my way back home, I stuck in traffic, in the middle of the summer. It was a hot day, and I had been driving for 40 minutes. I was at 4,000miles with my oil, which is 5 part synthetic,
1 part Lucas.I told my mechanic that I though the problem might have to so with dirty oil, because I'd never let the oil go for that long and I'd never had this problem before
Mechanic changed the oil and the sensor. Nothing Happened. The light would come on after the car warmed up for a while. Replaced the Oil Pump- No Dirt in the screen. No change except for higher pressure on Start-Up. Used to be 40-45, now is 50-60.
The problem used to happen after 20 minutes. Now it happens within5 minutes. In addition, the pressure used to go back up with acceleration, but when it hits Zero, it stays there.
The mechanics first suggestion was to pull the valve covers, and replace them, after cleaning out the RETURNS. Now he says he wants to have the CPU reset first, but that costs $100 and may not solve the problem.
What's the deal?
