oil pressure

Postby e46bmw » Fri Sep 10, 2010 9:04 pm

i think i might have the ipdm symptoms but i also noticed that once my truck warms up the oil pressure drops to almost low and stays there until i press on the gas pedal and it goes up to normal and as soon as i let off it goes back down could this be related to the ipdm problem or something different. i didnt notice this until it shut off the other day. i exchanged the relays with another and it hasnt shut off since but the oil pressure issue is still there anybody have any thoughts on this

The oil pressure thing is normal since the oil pump is driven by the engine hence more gas=more pressure. Also cold oil dosnt flow as well as hot oil thats why the pressure is higher at start-up. Were you having any other problems?
