  • well S***. oil pressure..

    while driving home last night, the stang decided it would lose oil pressure so i had to shut it down before it grenaded. had it towed home. still runs, but i didnt want to let it go for too long so i just shut it down again. looking into the issue now. wtf would've caused this?

      yea, looking into the sending unit and the oil pump. thinking about ripping all the old off and replacing it. also probably going to see if the oil is showing anything more devastating. hopefully not.

        I'd put a mechanical gauge on it real quick to verify before you start tearing it apart

          THIS. Especially if its an auto-meter electric gauge. If it is an auto meter, I can almost gaurantee you its the sending unit.

              update... im going to smack myself. all it was was the coupling for the supercharger that ran to the intake tube and onto the throttle body. this is an epic fail on my part. i guess that would be the issue though haha. no air coming into engine, rough idle, = barely any oil pressure. but its running fine now. i just feel like an idiot for completely missing that. i looked at it, but it didnt seem disconnected, so i started to check the spark plugs for soem reason and i bumped the tube right out of the coupler haha.
