So as some of you may know about a month ago I had my entire fuel system go out in the car... After a week poking and prodding I finally got it back up and running then 2 days ago as I was coming home from work everything went bad again, as I was downshifting getting ready to take a turn my car literally shut off, I coasted to the shoulder and started it right back up. This went on and off again for the whole 20 miles back home. Every Time I stopped the car or it idled to low my car would shut off, happened to look over at the cluster and saw I was getting almost no oil pressure.
Fast forward to today. I wake up early this morning and start the car and it starts right up. Pressure went right to about 50-60 and it idled just fine. As the car sat there warming up the pressure slowly started to drop, 55...50...40 and it kinda just sat there for a few minutes. After about 10 minutes it dropped down to about 20 and the car began to act like it wanted to die. Though if I step on the gas and get it up to around 2k RPM the pressure jumps right back up to around 60. *There is now a slight knock/tick that can be heard coming from the driver side of the motor as well, this started the same time the oil pressure issue started.
I am really looking for ideas hopefully to avoid the adventure I endured with the fuel system I ended up spending WAY more than I had to and I would like to work my way from the least expensive or most probable and just go from there.
I am willing to take as many pictures videos or answer any questions you may have to help me with this matter. I am leaning towards the oil pump being the issue but again I am not a 100%, I would also gather the sending unit but it appears to be showing an accurate reading as far as I can tell. Especially since when it reads 50+ the car is running great and when it drops the car just shuts off.....
