Hi All, my oil light started flickering when I would stop and a light, then go out when I took off. Then it started flicking and staying on up to high way speeds where it would go off above 2000rpm. The engine is not over heating and I am not hearing any lifter clack so I ASSUME it is the sensor. I picked one up today but it is 4 degrees out and I really dont want to spend more time in the driveway than necassary. I can't afford the manual so I thought I'd ask here.

Does my assement of the problem sound right?

Thanks much.

 

engine size?

 

Sorry bout that. It is the 3.5 SOHC

 

pass side on the side of the block

 

Thanks C-Tech. Damn it is too cold to be doing this.

 

OK, I jacked the car up and the Oil Pressure switch was on the drivers side right next to the oil filter. But there is a problem. The Oil Pressure switch does not mount INTO the block, it mounts to a housing that has a line attached to the side of it. The housing seems to mount to the block but it is very loose and no oil is comeing out of it. I stopped there because I didn't want to snap the line going into the housing.

The engine does say 3.5, but also High Output and has "24 valve" on the valve cover.

Any suggestion on how I should proceed?

 

Tuesday morning bump. Has anyone run into this?
