Already had the engine fixed from blown head gaskets. Two days later my low oil pressure light goes off at idle (at stops signs etc), and as soon as I get up to 600rpms or higher it goes out. Had the oil sending unit replaced, and less than 1000 miles later it is happening again. The mehcanics think its a bad oil pump and is gonna cost me a lot of $$$.
Have a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with 84,000 miles. started having issues with oil pressure gauge going crazy up and down, beeping. had oil pump replaced per mechanics recommendation. didn't help won't hold pressure---only registers about 2. now they tell me i need a new motor!!! just bought vehicle less than 1 yr ago...had carfax clean report!!!!any suggestions?
I would try a oil prusher gage and see what the oil prusheris for shore.when your engine idel your oil prusher will drop.jeep are not know for haveing bad oil pump. it could be a bad oil pump.good luck

I have the same problem.. 1994 YJ.. Except my engine has all new parts.. Nothing used.. Start it has 50 psi then drops to 0 psi in a few min.. Checked the psi with a manual guage.. It is reading the same.. No knocks no rattling.. I call Jeep they said to clean the gally plug under the oil pressure sending unit.. If this doesnt work.. Any ideas?
