98Astro van when warmed up check gauges light up and very low oil pressure.Installed mechanical gauge and does same (low pressure after warm up.How could the pickup screen cause this, wouldn't it be...

Hello Ted Lee,

Your vehicle is rapidly approaching maturity...
I think in another 5 years in some states it will
reach "HISTORICAL" status...

My first question would be...
>> "What weight OIL you are running & why??"

To intelligently discuss YOUR engine oil...
one would need to know your climate, mileage,
maintenance history.. & future plans.

Sudden drop in oil pressure would provoke a sample
oil analysis in an industrial application (metal in the
oil would flag a REBUILD for continuous service)).

Most commonly oil pressure drops because of increased clearances... on every pressurized bearing surface.

Indeed YES... a sudden loss of OIL PESSURE
could indeed be a PUMP PROBLEM... I certainly
DO NOT KNOW about your "bypass" hypothesis...
but to test/repair it you have to go into the
engine pan (anyway... I would do a compression
test
WELL BEFORE ever considering the PAN).

POPULAR Astro wisdom: (cheap pump?)
I am looking at WHY THERE ARE high volume
ASTRO oil pumps & why they are a fairly hot topic...
(perhaps..."optimal" design OEM pump = cheap).
((OEM = ORIGINAL Equipment Manufacturer)).

The prices of these pumps are reasonable enough
were I would not EVEN CONSIDER rebuilding
a used one... (please see)

Partsgeek
1998 Chevrolet Astro Oil Pump

WHAT-EVER floats your boat (in my opinion).

Personally ...
When I see a huge array of AFTER MARKET parts
for a particular engine element... (& a hot internet topics)
I SEE an OEM engineering problem ...

Not unique to GM... but they CERTAINLY know
how to optimize costs (deliberate business choices).
((I am just saying)).

My last, least & most unlikely recommendation would
be to consider fixing or replacing your OIL pump with
an ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT type pump (my opinion).

Hope this helps

I replaced the transmission on my 1998 Chevy Astro Van.

If you put the transmission in neutral, there are two notches on the switch that will line up to adjust the switch correctly.
