im going with oil pump
I'd start with the sending unit. Find someone with a scanner and verify the reading going to the PCM so you can determine for sure if its not just a bad gauge cluster.

yeah the areoforce reads what the sending unit puts out...so cluster is ruled out
Ill install the autometer gauge probably saturday and if it pulses then I know my oil pump is about to go. So I shouldn't be driving it huh? Or is it safe to drife from work to home and back (5) miles as long as i have oil pressure and just keep and eye on it.Quote:

Anyone?
I would not drive it at all until I knew if there was an electrical problem or a mechanical problem. No doubt. Besides, it was making noise, right? That never gets better on it's own.
Yes it did make the noise, but only for abour 4-5 minutes. It since has not.Quote:
