Oil Pressure
There is an issue with oil pressure in my 1999 Chrysler Concorde. When the motor warms up and it's idling the oil pressure light comes on. I have to put it in neutral and kick the revs up to around 1k rpm before it turns off again.
The oil looks good as new and is full. I was going to first replace the oil pressure sensor but I cannot find where it's at on the block. This is a 2.7 L engine. Does anybody know where it's located?
Also I was wondering if the pump is wearing out. I've got not quite 90k miles on the car. But again I cannot find a replacement pump. Where do they sell them and about what do they run?
Any suggestions from people w/ experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
