Question
Roger, i realize this is not in your car year range.
97' chevy lumina 3.1 v6
oil pressure light comes on when making a hard
left turn around a curve or at a corner.. one
time it shut the engine off.. i replaced the oil
sending unit, same problem.. any ideas?
thanks
Hi
Bob;
Wow I never herd of that one.When you said it comes on when you make turns I wondered but when you said it shut the engine off I think it is electric or in the computor , as it should not be shuttin down the engine or
it could be some type of a engine safty so when there is no oil it will kill the engine,You could go to the local library and try the teck books.I wish I could of been better in helping you.Did you try to un plug the wire on the sending unit and see if it still does it. if it stops doing it than it is elect.
good luck
roger
