Either you are very low on oil and need to top up or you have a blocked suction pipe and the pressure sensor is not reading a flow - Either way you need to fix it QUICK or you will be looking at a hefty bill for repairs.
No, it will not. Low oil & or pressure will not prevent the engine from starting.
It means you have low oil pressure. Low oil pressure means you will destroy the engine if you keep running it with low pressure.
When you bring your car to a several mechanics and they keep saying buy a new engine because your cylinders are no good and eventually your engine will stop working by not turning on.
you need at least 50 psi to run and 55 or so to keep it running thats with cpi engine the others use less pressure and a different fuel pump....
Yes, that is possible. Never overfill any engine.
maybe you have low oil pressure?
Gonna need more info than that to help you. The year, make, model, engine and more detail about what pressure would help.
No. The harmonic balancer does exactly what it says. It is to keep the engine from viberating. You need to install a manual oil pressure gauge and run the engine cold and hot to determine if you really have a pressure problem. Most likely you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.
Check with dealer about the range of the oil pump psi. I have a 98 ram with 360 engine. 370,000 miles and that is normal for my engine. The pressure is lower at idle b/c the engine needs less pressure to keep the engine properly lubricated.
No. Retarders use pressure created within the engine to lessen the speed of a vehicle.
If its a turbo car it will stall if the blow off valve is not shutting properly as the pressure drop is too much for the engine to keep turning, same with lpg when you idle the pressure in the engine drops and it will stall you can correct this by changing the timing
IT takes 7lbs. to keep the oil light out at a idle. It should have at lest 25lbs.to 30lbs. of oil pressure at or above 2500 rpms. If it has more that is fine to.
