MORE problems......

[Rick530]

This car is starting to become a pain in my ***...

Loosing oil pressure beginning at 4k rpm. No visable oil anywhere and none on driveway... One thing right after another with this car all of a sudden.

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

How many miles are on your car now? What kind of oil and has it been using any oil between changes? Give me a few more details and I will see what I can find out for you.

12555 miles on it. Hasent been using any oil between oil changes to my knowledge. As far as what kind of oil has been going in it I would take a guess at mobil 1. The dealership I take it to has been the only ones to put oil in it.

Did you check your oil level? If you have a car serviced .....ALWAYS check the levals anyway.
people make mistakes.

Dealership replaced the engine coolant sensor recently. Was causing a cel and voltage light then going into limp mode. Several days ago tho the same thing haponed again but car didnt go into limp mode. Checked the dipstick and the oil level is in the safe zone. Soon as it hits 4k rpm the pressure starts dropping. Continues to drop untill i get off the throttle. First I knoticed it this morning it was damn near to 0. LEt off and back up the pressure came.

Is it running bad, making engine noises or is it just a bad sender?

to know for sure is have a shop hook up a oil pressure gauge and rev it to 4k and see what pressure gauge is reading maybe u have a bad switch or poss the pump is going out or other internal failures i would just take it back to them sorry to hear about the concern i have 6k miles on my 08 ssg vert so far its been a great car.

Yeah I just took it home to get a different car to drive today. This time it drops down to around 50psi or a bit below @4krpm. Runs normal, normal temp, just the oil gauge has gone goofy on me. Takign it in next week to have the tech check it out.

 

[bluesrt]

the quickest and cheapest foolproof first,i would put a new oil sender in it and go from there.

 

[SylvanSRT]

I've got a warrenty, I dont care what it costs, but yeah hopefully it is just soemthing minor like that. Car runs totally normal so must not be anything to serious.

Whats up my brother from another mother! Things are good. Getting closer to being moved in. Jess is doing great. Hotrod is still at a standstill. Have another new buisness going now so my funds are going to it.

 

[Flash1034]

Sound like a sender then. If it had 0 oil pressure...you would hear it.

[Viper X]

Agree, sounds like electrical issues, bad connection to or faulty sending unit.

So what was the solution? Any follow up?

Guess it was just a little low on oil. No problems since.

>>>Guess it was just a little low on oil. No problems since.<<<



All that hype for nothing


NEW ENGINES USE SOME OIL. SOMETIMES.

CHECK (that's your responsibility ) EVERY 500-1000 MILES!
