Was a hard freeze and I started my car to warm it up, went inside to finish getting ready for work, then got back in the car and nearly shit myself when I looked at the dash and had no oil pressure... So I imediatly shut it off. I didn't hear a knock or even a tick when I walked up to the car, so I started it back up, and had great oil pressure... A few seconds later it dropped back to zero, so I gave it a little gas and it jump right back up, was fine and and then dropped down again... And then I just held it at about 2k for a few seconds untill my temp guage staged still... Then my pressure guage never droped down.. 2 days later I replaced the sending unit and haven't had a problem yet... Also my sending unit was only 7 bucks.And my low fluids light came on about a month ago, checked it, and it was full, but the water was deffinately mercky... Flushed the whole coolant system, and the light wouldn't go away... Pulled the sending unit out, and it was covered in nasty crap, and a prong was bent on it... Cleaned it off with some carb cleaner and reinstalled it, and it went away. The light comes on every now and again if I don't drive the car for over a week, but goes away if I cut he car off and start it back up... So I'm realy assuming that that's just the sending unit too.Sounds like the same is wrong with your car... Probly less then 30 bucks tofix and you can do it yourself with a cressent wrench.</blockquote>
