decided about 15 min ago i would start my car, after sitting in the garage for a week. started right up but idled very rough for 2-3 seconds then adjusted and smoothed out. i looked down at my gauge and no oil pressure. i quickly cut the car off. the gauge itself i believe is working because with the car off, the needle was bottomed out, with the car on the needle was under the red mark.
its a 2000 gt with 87,000 miles and no mods other than a programmer. had it about 3 weeks and the oil pressure has been just fine ever drive its been on. needle is right in the middle.
could this be the oil pump? if so, isnt it odd to take a dump at 87k?
could it be the oil sending unit? this just controls my gauge, correct? if that be the case, then i actually have oil pressure - correct? but why would the needle move if the sending unit is out?
car ran a total of about 7 seconds. i noticed no motor noise and ticking. did i hurt anything?
other ideas??
