I am wondering why you need to know. I have replaced the oil pan on my Mercury Village twice at a cost of 550 the first time and 600 this past week. The first time, I hit a ditch and punctured it. The last time, we don't know what happened. My mechanic says it looks like the oil pan was dragged down the highway for a few miles. We didnt' hit anything and don't know why it wore through. Is this problem typical for a Village? My wife has a Villager, the oil pan sits very low to the ground. She hit a broken off tail pipe and put a nice hole in hers. There are no known issue with the pan itself. Just very low.
Could be just the strainer, or the oil pump itself. First drop the oil pan and clean it.
But you may just want the replace the oil pump sense you've got it apart.

My Camaro tries to start but won't it's not getting enough fuel pressure to the engine I have changed the filter Is it the pump or could it be the injectors are clogged?
Based on the information, I assume it is the fuel filter you changed, that you have good spark and have done a fuel pressure check. I doubt that ALL the injectors would be clogged. I would think the fuel pump is faulty.
