I guess when it rains it pours... in addition to the post I have active my 95, I now have an issue with my built 96.
I got in my car as I do everyday. Started it up. Let it warm up, which I do EVERY SINGLE TIME I drive it. Oil pressure was at 55 cold then 30 when warm via Autometer electric gauge (at idle). I drove about 200 ft and my pressure slowly and steadily dropped from 55 to 5.
My first thought, bad aftermarket sensor. THEN an additional 100ft later 5 psi to 0 and the idiot light came on as well. My current thought "oh crap" I babied the car at a 1k idle back around the block where it stayed parked. (until the rollback came)
not much 420a info on here to filter through. Do these symptoms match anyone's recent failures? Please let me know. The engine's been out of the car 3 times in the last 2 months... looks like its coming again.
- Oil level fine/ clean
- NO leaks externally
- NO oil in coolant
- turbo leaking slightly (but refer to item one)
