1988 V6 oil pressure problems
Hello!
My 1988 V6 Sport Coupe has just recently been put back into service and the motor had supposedly been rebuilt by my grandfather a couple years ago! However, now when i drive it the oil pressure does a wierd thing... it stays golden for the first 5 to 10 minutes then drops. It starts to just get lower at idle and then picks up again when I get on the gas but then it starts to sit at 0 on idle and barely moves until I get into 4k RPM range....I hope i dont have to rebuild.... please let me know any ideas! I know i should throw a real pressure sensor on the engine and check it out, planning to do so this weekend.
