The oil pump can be changed without pulling the engine.

The impressive looking thing is the balance shaft assembly. These counter-rotating shafts balance out the inherent vibration of the engine. You can remove it, as long as you do not disrupt the gear placements relationship to each other. The balance assembly is set to a specific point.

SOURCE: 1996 chevy corsica,2.2 oil pressure DROP when hot????

dont run it anymore!!!
check oil is reaching the rockers & that there are no blocked feeed holes !
the pump may have been fitted too loose or the gaket is not sealing creating a pressure drop!
it may have some of the old bearing material enter the gallery,s & or the pump!
good luck Cheers Rob

It would be cam bearings not main bearings, check with a manual guage first, if you had no oil pressure your enging would be making metal to metal knocking noises and then seize up... Suggestion at the time you remove a oil galley plug with engine off, then disconnect coil wire from ign so engine will not start then have someone help bump the starter and crank engine over while you watch for oil flow from engine block... Check flow then insert manual oil pressure guage...

Sounds to me like the Throttle Position Sensor. Thats usually what makes the throttle "rev" But that is not going to make the oil pressure drop. Pull the codes from your car and look them up online. sometimes there is an extra fuse u can add to your panel and turn the key on and it will flash your codes via the check engine light. i.e. if the light flashes 2 times then small pause then 1 time and long pause that is code 21. if there isnt a extra fuse you can usually jump it with a paperclip and pull the codes. not really sure how to do that with yours. but im positive Google knows ;)

How do i replace oil pump on a 2001 vw beetle?

Depends on what engine you have.
All engines require the pan removal first.
The 4 cylinder then has a pickup tube to remove, a windage tray, and then 2 bolts hold the pump on.
The 6 cylinder is more complex, with an output tube, more complex cover, etc.
Both have O rings to replace.

But I rarely see oil pumps go bad.
If you have low oil pressure, it could be the relief valve, but what I would suggest is screwing a mechanical gauge into one of the oil pressure switch fittings.
Worn connecting rod bearings are the most common cause of low oil pressure.
So if you have the pan off, check rod bearing looseness.
It is easy to replace rod bearings if no damage has been done to the crank yet.

2002 Wrangler Sport. 4.0 My oil pressure gauge hit rock bottom, the engine made soon clanking sounds and died. I pulled the valve cover but dont see any bent rods. What else should I be looking for...

The main bearings and connecting rod bearings. The cam bearings. The wrist pins. These are the first bearings that get oil from the oil pump. When you take the oil pan off to replace the pump pull one of the rod caps and check for scaring and color change.

2006 chevy silveado 2500hd 6.ol 92,000 miles no oil pressure!

Oil pressure is created by the oil pump, the main bearings and cam bearings. If these bearing are worn, excessive clearance, you will lose oil pressure. The rattling could be a rod bearing or wrist pin. You could try installing a "wet gauge" and check the oil pressure against the OEM specs, at different RPMS.

1989 honda accord lxi fi oil light

Sounds like there is an oil pressure problem. Now this can be due to several factors. 1. low oil level in car
2. bad oil pump
3.bad oil pressure switch /sending unit
4. last but not least check oil filter and make sure its not clogged.
worn engine main/connecting rod bearings.
have pressure checked with a manual guage at oil pressure switch for the correct pressure. If that's good then the switch is bad and problem solved.
if it low then you will have to check pump and bearings. Contact if you need more help and thanks for using FIX YA

Low Oil pressure light in idle at stop

Depending on the amount of miles, maintenance records, or how hard the car has been driven either by a previous owner, or by yourself. The engine's main crankshaft bearings or the connecting-rod bearings could be excessively worn.

Also, it could very well be a wiring problem to the sensor and/or computer causing the problem.
