The oil could be old and needing change. The oil filter could be getting stopped up, or the screen on the oil pump could be clogged. An oil change and new filter is the first place to start.

What would cause the oil pressure to drop to zero on a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville while it is idling Now the pressure stays low even when the car is idling high does that mean something worse is wrong?

Your gauge Could Be Reading Wrong, Sender Bad Ect. Other Things If Oil Pressure Is Bad. Oil Pump Bad, Cam Bearings Bad, Crankshaft And Rod Bearings Bad. Have Your Oil Pressure Tested By A Mechanic With A Pressure gauge To Get The True Pressure. It May Just Be A Bad Oil Pressure Sender. Also You Need To Use The Recommended Weight Of Oil. Best Place To Start Have Pressure Tested. Good Luck


Why does ac condenser fan not run when car is idling?

The condenser fan is more likely to run when the car is idling. So if it NEVER comes on when idling you definitely have a problem. If the condenser is not cooled, then your compressor could get overloaded. It may be a problem with a relay that is preventing the fan from running - or some other issue.

What could the problem be if a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville is making a loud knocking rattle noise but it is not smoking and still runs smooth?

Could also be the harmonic balancer. When they go bad they make a knocking noise when the engine is idling. If it has a rod or main bearing going bad it would NOT affect the way it runs so you could have a serious problem in the motor itself. If the rod or main is going out it will not run long like that. SORRY TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU THIS. Ray
