Re: Wild Pressure

I would venture to say your oil pressure switch is going bad...hence the random readings. cheap and easy fix.

Re: Wild Pressure

i second the oil pressure switch. as far as the car dying, how does it idle, does it ever stumble on take off or any time at all? need more details on history of upkeep, how it runs normally and what are you doing when it dies; decel, coasting, cruising, etc.
