Just noticed that my oil light is coming on. the oil level was fine. The idiot light does not come on after the car has sat all night. I started it Saturday morning with no light iluminating. After I drive it around the neighborhood the light will come back on. However, as you give the t-bird some gas the light goes out. After removing your foot from the gas the light comes back on. I have been told that the oil sending unit may be bad. I think it is near my oil filter somewhere. What is the labor hours on installing a new oil pump. I beliveve just to remove the oil pan is 3 hours labor. I know it is probably the pump. Because when the light comes on I hear some rattling so I quickly shut it down. Now I have a 1991 Ford Shop manual which tells me what needs to be removed. I would like to replace bushings while they have the lower control arms down and the bushings in strut rod. I could care less about the subframe I dont think they have bushings??? Basically if you guys could list out what parts I will need besides the oil pump that would be of great service to me. I will buy the Ford parts and have a mechanic up the road install them. I know a new oil pan gasket will also be needed. I just want to have everything I need so the mechanic will not have to order my parts from who knows where.
