either your oil pump screen is clogged or you need a new pump
the pressure of oil that the oil pump is pulling?
Your car or truck will begin losing pressure(meaning you will not be able to drive forward in a normal speed)
Low oil pressure or fluctuating oil pressure.
no, however the fuel pump has a secondary route through the oil pressure switch.If the fuel pump relay goes out the pump will run through the oil pressure switch after the engine gets oil pressure. this results in extended engine cranking time before the engine will start
The oil pressure is dropping at this time. A clogged oil filter, clogged oil pump screen or failing oil pump can be the cause.
It is built into the oil pump/ Part of the oil pump.
Zero oil pressure.
If you have oil pressure it is working.
Loss of oil pressure.
Defective gauge, defective oil pressure sending unit, low of oil, defective oil pump.
power for the fuel pump goes through the oil pressure sender so if you loose oil pressure it turns the engine off. Look at the oil pressure sender and the wire for it.
Plugged filter, worn bearings, low oil level,.....................
