well. my carb'd 2.0 has about 6500-7000 miles on it since rebuilt last summer. i drive it hard and such, but for the most part it has been good. here's my pproblem- after driving like 45 min - 1hr at like 75 mph, if the car's idle drops below a 1000 rpms at a light, the oil pressure idiot light will flicker and then come hard on- so i heel toe it to stay above 1000 rpms (hot idle carb issue- working on it!!) here is what i think is happening. the stock oil pump sucks. also, i think the oil is getting too hot and thinning out so the pump has a hard time pumping.....
external oil cooler? HD oil pump? what do i do? btw- fresh oil change- proper level, 20w-50 |
