Ok about week ago I got in my car to start it and started right up, then I noticed my oil pressure dropped and car died. Tried it a few times and drove off with pressure normal. Three or four days pass and I drove car to the store about a mile away, got back in the car same thing happened again.. Its been a few days and it did it again today after driving less then a mile. So does it sound like something could be going out? I hope not the oil pump. Sending unit had to be good, because it shuts it self off when the oil pressure drops all the way down. Right? If anyone know what it might be please let me know. I hate changing parts that aren't Necessary

 

Wow Really guys, 71 reads and no answers? Someone has to know something.

 

Ok I'll bite, my first guess from your vague description: Afaik, the factory setup does not cut the engine if the oil pressure drops - but there is a failsafe with an oil pressure switch that keeps the engine running if the fuel pump relay quits.

However of course, the oil pressure will drop when then engine cuts out, so that's probably what you're seeing.

So ignoring that, you've got a problem where the engine just quits randomly. Need more info - hot, cold, under load, state of parts/tune, etc etc. How is the usual tune-up stuff - filters, wires, timing, plugs etc etc?
