today the massage in the dash told me that the engine oil press check owners manual. the car shut off and the engine sounds louder than before kinda like the exhaust manafold had cracked. the oil light has come on but the oil level is still good.

also before this had happened i replaced the control arms on the front of the car to get rid of the shaking at 50mph. this didn;t fix the problem. any thing else you can think of.

Remove the lower oil pan and inspect the oil pump. The older motors had oil pump bolt failures.
