Oil Pressure/ Starter
A few weeks ago i hit a dip really hard and since then my oilpressure had gone way up my oil pan is fine i dono what i could of done to make it go up. i know its not th guage because i looked at my passanger valve cover and were the vent is that goes into the air intake tube you can see oil has sprayed all over the valvecover...
Also i think my starter is goin i go to start it and it makes one click then i do it angain then makes 1 click and finaly cranks over its not the battery. The starrter is 2 years old almost and i know they should last longer. Also if it is the starter waht is the procedure to install a new one.

It sounds like your starter alright. I use to delivery Chinese food with my car, The I went through 3 starters in a year. I can say that it is easy as pie.
1 Before you do anything Dissconnect your battery
2 locate your starter. There should be 3 wire connected to the back of it. Dissconnect the wires (make sure to remember which wires goes on whoch post)
3 Start to take up the bolts in the starter ( i beleve that there are only 3 bolt, someone can corrct me if i am wrong it bee a while since i did this)
4 Take off the starter (watching for any shims that could be there) And dont crush your hand the starter is heavier than it looks.
5 Reverse the steps to put it or a new one back on.
I thinks thats all the steps but I could have miss something, like i said its been a while.
P.S. A haynes manual helps, if unsure

I'll throw in a tip! I thought of this after I couldn't loosen the bolt that held the wires to the starter... I wound up cracking the bolt off the solenoid (with the wires still firmly attached), man what a nightmare.
If you have some anti-seize compound (Permatex, from any parts store), put a small amount on the wire terminals of the starter. This should prevent the hell I went thru if you have to replace the starter again.
