bamabubba said:hey yall. i have a little problem. i have a 93 lx with a 351 with goodies that is pretty new. few thousand miles. my problem is this. when i acclerate hard my oil pressure drops until i let of the gas. is this the factory guage screwing up? the pressure does not drop when i rev the motor at idle. any ideas. thanx for any help. later.

I think the wirein on the sender might be groundin some where or the sender.I have a cyberdyne digital dash new oil pressure sender.My gauge reads 39 all the time unless I open the drivers door it goes up to 65 close door back down to 39.I think the ford wirein is the problem try to replace the wirein to the sender from the gauge.Later Sub
yea jason. you are correct. when im sitting still it does not do it. i was thinking the same as you on the accleration theory but dont really know what i can do to stop that if thats what its doing. i guess i could just not put the hammer down anymore and drive like a normal personJason 302 said:This is kind of extreme but could it be that your car accelerates hard enough to slush the oil away from the pickup? Do you have an aftermarket oil pan? You say it doesn't do it when you rev it at idle. Does that mean when your sitting still?
