Engine Performance problem
2000 Ford Fairmont 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 274000 kilometres
Hello...
The car oil pressure gauge drops dramatically after the car has been driven for a while..
an example would be when stopping at traffic lights..
I have had the oil sender unit replaced and this has made no difference...
When the pressure drops, there are no noises or rattles to indicate a problem and the car actually runs perfectly...
when I strat the car to begin with, the oil pressure gauge takes a few seconds to go up and I could leave the car idling for an hour without a problem..
It only seems to be when the car has warmed up and driven..Also the car is not overheating at all..
As I said, it runs perfectly apart from this problem...
Thankyou
