I was taking the boys in the Stang over to the local car club meet tonight.
Oil pressure was fine leaving the drive way. About a quarter mile up the road though I look down and there was zero oil pressure. Pulled into a parking lot and shut it down fast. Got out and checked for leaks...I changed the oil last night so I thought maybe I had forgotten to tighten something, hey it happens.
No oil leaks.
I waited about five minutes and start her back up and there was oil pressure again. It was lower than usual but at least some pressure. It was on the very low end of the "normal" range on the guage but it was enough to feel ok about limping the quarter mile home.
I am thinking maybe there is crap in the pan clogging the screen on the oil pickup?
