There is no oil regulator valve. You need to get a mechanical oil gague hook up to verify low oil pressure.
If pressure is that low engine failure is likely.

[quote:6efcfc5a8e="sluggs"][quote:6efcfc5a8e="Jazzgirl23"]Computer problem
1988 Chevy Camaro V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 64000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to get my son's car smogged and the diagnostic will not send any signal to a scanner. We have replaced the computer and had a friend check it with his scanner and it still won't read. Do you think it is the PROM or poss something else. The check eng light flashes very fast and the car's idle is too high and using too much fuel. ( you can smell it)

My son bought the car last year and knows nothing about working on vehicles. I know a little, but not about vehicles with computers. The veh has been sitting in my driveway for the last 6 months because it won't smog and the tags are expired. Please help get this car out of my driveway.[/quote:6efcfc5a8e][/quote:6efcfc5a8e]

your car is a 88 ,i have 89 the problem is that the scanners wont work on older cars so u have to get a paper clip and touch terminal a and b then count flashes and read them in the book. g to get my son's car smogged and the diagnostic will not send any signal to a scanner. We have replaced the computer and had a friend check it with his scanner and it still won't read. Do you think it is the PROM or poss something else.
