oil pressure problems
I was driving my 96 today and the oil pressure was low at idle and when I accelerated it picked up then after driving for about 10 mins it stayed low. slight ticking coming from my engine. I had changed the oil today. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Mine was lying to me a couple of weeks ago. It was suddenly scary low. But the engine didn't act like it. I bought a Bosch mechanical gauge for 17 bucks from Autozone, and found I had 60 pounds at 2100, 40 at idle.
The guage went back to a more normal reading after I reinstalled the same sensor. Go figure.
