-Uh, this happened to me on my '94 5.2L. I bought a sender, but screwed
in a pressure
gauge and checked the idle oil pressure when hot and it was like 7 psi.
Worst part is that the
spec. is only about 9 psi. After putting the new sender in and had no
change in the oil light
coming on at idle when warm, it went to 3 different dealers. 1st dealer
told me there was
nothing wrong. 2nd dealer said definitely had a bad oil pump and
replaced it. The next day
it was at the 3rd dealer who put a longblock in it. (Took my freakin'
Magnum cam with it,
I would never tell them it was in there so they could tell me my
warranty was voided...)
Good luck, man-
