I am brand new on the web sight. So pardon me if I l sound like the amateur that I am. I have an extensive career in the EQ Repair. I have worked on my vehicles as much as possible (90% of the time).
I have a 2003 TJ that lost oil pressure and the check engine light came on. Stopped and checked the oil level was good. Towed it home as no oil pressure is serious. installed manual gauge with the sender. When testing it worked fine until I got back to the house and then the oil pressure gauge on the dash dropped, not to the point that the ck gauge came on. But the manual Gauge showed 45 psi up until then. Then it dropped to 5 to 10 psi at the same time as the dash gauge went down. I am thinking oil pump or suction leak on pick up tube. But I don't want to pull all of that apart before I have checked everything possible externally. Is there anything else I can test before I pull the oil pan? All of this is based on my EQ experience.
Thanks for any guidance you can give
