I give up explaining this to you too...... :roll: For the rest of you people, you may be able to just get away with an Oil Pump if your Oil Pressure is weak. |
my car used to do that when the battery cable was coming loose, so I just went out any bought a new battery terminal bolt

hmm...could you describe this clicking? Does it happen if you hit the gas at idle too? I mean if you bring it up to about 1500rpm quickly and immediately release the pedal does it make that noise on the way down? Almost like something is loose inside? I'm having a similar problem so I could use the best description of the problem you can give ...About the oil pressure problem. Raise the car up and pull the passenger side tire off. Behind it there is a shield with what look like bolts holding it on. Grab the heads with a pair of pliers and pull and they will come out. Pull that shield off. Right infront of you should be the oil filter assembly. There are 4 botls holding it on. Remove the oil pressure sensor, any lines going to the oil cooler, and the 4 bolts holding the filter assembly on. Make sure you remove the 4 bolts progressively and move them each about 1/4" then move to the next one and keep doing that until you get them all out. Then try as much as possible to pull it away from the block before pulling down. There is a spring and plunger that will almost jump out at you. Pull the spring and plunger out and carefully stretch the spring about 1/4". Make sure the stretch didn't happen only on the ends of the spring. Try to spread the stretch out over the length of the spring, its not difficult just grab different parts and pull then move up the spring and pull some more. Replace the spring into the block and put the plunger over it. Reinstall everything insuring to progressively tighten the bolts 1/4" at a time to ensure an even setting. That should raise your oil pressure. There is a chart floating around somewhere about exactly how much stretch = how much oil pressure but 1/4" or less should be enough to get a good boost in pressure. I've run 90psi through my system when I prelubed it and there weren't any problems and if you're getting 20psi right now 1/4" should get you back up to the 40psi range. Thats probably not a fix but it should buy you plenty of time.
