Fist check oil level, the sensor is a pressure switch worked by oil pressure, hopefully the sensor has gone faulty. The oil pressure needs checking, if the oil pump or relief valve has gone faulty, the engine is being starved of lubrication and is causing internal damage. It is advisable NOT to run the engine till the pressure has been checked. (hope it's the sensor)

SOURCE: Runs Ok...engine warmed up...come to red light or

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 ;)

SOURCE: low oil preasure stop engine message displayed on

I havent encountered it. However, I highly recommend you do not drive this car. Low oil pressure can do permanent damage to the engine. It sounds like your oil pump is bad. However, if debris managed to get inside your engine it could have damaged the piston walls causing this to happen as well.

I hate to say it, but unless you are a very skilled mec hanic this is a job for the dealership.

SOURCE: At idle the oil pressure

Hook the pressure guage into the same hole the sending unit is in. If you want to make it permanent put a brass "T" fitting in the hole and hook both to that. Hope this helps.

it means the oil pressure is low and may be low enough to damage the engine if you keep drving/running the engine. it would help if you could tell us the actual oil pressure, engine and mileage . basically, the oil pressure may be low enough to wreck your engine, then again it may be bs......

How do i change the oil pump on my 2006 Chevrolet trailblazer LT the engine is 5.3

Just because the message says low oil pressure, it does not have to mean that you actually do have low oil pressure. The sending unit could be defective, which could give you a false message. It is quite rare for an oil pump to fail. Check your oil level on your dipstick. If you are down a couple of quarts of oil, the oil pressure could be low.

Normal oil pressure at operating temperature should be around 40 lbs, 30 at an idle. Either you have a bad oil pressure sending unit or you actually have low oil pressure that indicates a serious engine problem.

Have oil at ok level oil lite comes on flashing no oil pressure stop now

Ther are a few reasons, first is a bad oil sensor . this unit goes bad and gives a false reading that the oil pressure is low, try replacing the oil pressure switch and if theres still a problem then the oil pressure maybe low and engine may have bearing problems , good day

Check guages light keeps coming on when i am in park or have my foot on the breaks it is a 2002 chevy trailblazer.

I would check my oil pressure gauge and the oil level as well. the fuel level guage also malfunctions on those models so make sure it is working properly and not floating from full to empty that will cause the light to come on as well as overheating of the engine(low coolant levels)low oil level,low fuel level,and low charging volts from your alternator.if all is well suspect a short in dash.

Why is showing low oil pressure and stop engine on dash board i have low oil pressure and it reads stop engine

Check your oil. If it is low, top it off and see if the light goes out. If your oil is full, have your oil pressure checked.
