Low oil pressure can be caused by several engine faults, including oil leaks, a worn oil pump, or degraded oil viscosity due to contamination or age. Additionally, a clogged oil filter can restrict oil flow, leading to low pressure. Internal wear in engine components, such as bearings or piston rings, can also contribute to decreased oil pressure by allowing oil to escape from the lubrication system. Regular maintenance is essential to prevent these issues.

Would the fuel pressure regulator cause the injectors not to get gas?

It could but not likely. Do a fuel pressure test and be sure to replace the fuel filter. If you have low or no fuel pressure I would suspect the fuel pump is at fault.

Why doesn't a truck stay on after it has started.?

We need to know the year/make/model. The most likely cause is air/fuel mixture . If you can get it scanned, most newer vehicles will give the exact cause( low fuel pressure fault code, sensor fault code). If you can't, I would start by checking check fuel pressure, or air leaks if it is a MAF system.


What would cause the fuel system in your 1990 3.1 cavalier to lose pressure when NOT running?

it has a machanical fuel pump mounted on the engine. so there would be no pressure as you turn the ignition on, but would only get pressure once the engine has turned a few times, by the starter motor, in order to create fuel pressure. but check your fuel lines, usually they would be your problem

Any fault that affects emissions will turn the light on. You need to have it checked for codes to know possible causes.


What would cause the loss of fuel pressure if your 1997 Chevy s-10 sits for a couple of days?

You could have a leaky fuel injector or a leaky fuel pressure regulator or a faulty check valve in the fuel pump. My guess would be the fuel pump is at fault.
