Okay I just got done replacing the timing components. On start up it was kinda loud and died down once oil got to it. Now I go to test drive it and the oil light comes on.
I checked the dipstick and it's fine.

What could the problem be?

 

Did you check the dipstick with the moor running or wait til it was off and cooled down?

 

I checked it with the motor off and hot? Now its just flickering on and off. Not sure if its the oil pressure sensor or not. The car was sitting for a month if that helps.

 

I wouldnt be running a car with the oil light on till the problem is fixed

 

Check the oil when the motor is cold to see if the level has gone down then. If it is still within the acceptable range on the dipstick, maybe it's just the sensor

 

Yea I already ordered the sensor. I will get back to y'all Tuesday to see if its fixed.

 

Lol I forgot to tell y'all its for a 2.4Le5. Didn't know if it was common for theses motors.

 

Had a similar problem on another car and it was the oil filter.
Oil light flickered at Idle only ,if the rpm was raise a bit it would go out.

 

New sensor, same problem. So I pull the oil filter out and Started the car and very little oil pressure was seen from that area. So next is to pull the oil pan and see if the pick up tube is clogged.

 

Check the pick up. If u had to replace timing guides and such u could be clogged

 

I will check the pick up tube tomorrow. Now I do remember tightening the little oil thing that supplies the chain with oil. Maybe it was to tight and cracked it?

 

Okay I found the problem!!! It was a clogged pick up tube. A paper towel dropped in the oil pan and got stuck in the pick up tube. Anybody know how to put resolved on this thread?
