Okay, so this just adds fire under my ass for getting the engine swapped Current engine is an A15
Monkeygirl (woman friend) mentioned earlier this afternoon something about oil and asking me general car questions. When I drive I occasionally check all my gauges out of habit. I looked down and noticed my oil pressure had dropped to zero. Temp was about normal but I still got super worried.
Clearly my first reaction was to get into the first parking lot and kill the engine. I was only a few minuets from home, but didn't want to risk it. I Checked the oil and the dipstick read ZERO. I had a quart of oil in the back and since she burns oil, I make a habit of checking the oil regularly. I topped it off, started it up and still read zero. No funny noises at all. In fact, I do seem to get about 20 psi of pressure at about 2K, but nothing more then that. I rolled her home and parked it. In the mean time checked the wiring, sender unit and gauge (ProSport) as per their directions given over the phone with a multi meter. All were within spec and gauge functioned as it should.
I started it up and still had no oil pressure. I didn't want to risk hurting her so I left it alone for a while. I came back out an hour or so later when the engine was cool, checked my levels and started her up to move it a few feet into the driveway so my dad and I could take a look. When I started it up I instantly had 20 psi at idle and about 40 psi at 2000 (rough numbers). All where they normally would be. Keep in mind, nothing on the engine changed between the time I left it with no pressure and when I came out to move it.
I'm honestly baffled by what caused this. Input?
