If a worn engine oil pump causes low pressure, it can lead to inadequate lubrication of engine components, resulting in increased friction and heat. This can accelerate wear and tear, potentially causing engine parts to seize or fail. Additionally, low oil pressure may trigger warning lights on the dashboard, indicating a serious issue that requires immediate attention to prevent catastrophic engine damage.

What causes high crankcase pressure?

High crankcase pressure usually would be caused by clogged oil journals in the engine. There are passages through out the engine allowing gasses to escape from it. Older Ford Trucks actually had a vent tube that stuck out of the bottom of the engine to release this pressure. Burned valves and bad lifters and/or push rods can cause this also. Generally a tear down would be necessary to pin point the problem.

Why does Oil light come on when you use the brakes on a 1981 Toyota?

Oil light indicates low oil pressure. When the engine revolution decreases, such as during braking or idle, oil pressure drops. If the pressure is too low, oil light will come on. Possible causes: Most likely cause is a leaky oil-pressure switch. If you see that oil is leaking from the oil-pressure switch, you need to replace the oil-pressure switch. Tighten the new switch to the correct tightening torque specified in the repair manual but do not overtighten. A leak at the oil-pressure switch causes the oil-pressure switch to give incorrect low-oil pressure warning (oil light) because the leak causes the pressure to drop around the oil switch. If this is the case, it would be easy to fix the problem. If this is not the case, there may be other oil leaks in the engine or a faulty oil pump or other engine problems. Also, obviously, make sure that your engine is not nearly stalling during braking, which would also cause the oil light to come on due to very low engine speed.


Can a faulty fuel pressure regulator prevent the fuel pump to send fuel to the engine?

No, the fuel would still be pumped to the engine but it would be at the wrong pressure at the injectors.
