I was sitting in my car with it just idling and my CEL came on for about 5 sec, just long enough for me to catch it. I did the 3x trick and these came up:

P1684 Metering Oil Pump Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P1686 Metering Oil Pump Stepping Motor Circuit Malfunction
P1687 Metering Oil Pump Stepping Motor Circuit Malfunction

Now I have been noticing, I've been needing oil added once a month. I looked all around my car and couldn't find a leak abd Im not leaving any puddles on the ground.

Anywho, how do I fix these or should I bring it to my mechanic?

if you cant get any info here, take the codes to autozone (if you have one in your area). they have this print out that tells you about the codes and possible problems. if all three codes have the same possible problem then you know where to look.

 

I'll take it there tomorrow, didn't even think of that.I took the car for a drive, and the CEL never came on. Im going to check the codes in the morn and see what comes up.

i hope ur oil pump isn't about to go on ya... that would be bad

 

We'll the car does have 136000 miles on it. Very little up keep was done motor wise when my dad was driving it.

then i'd say the oil pump may be on the verge of quittin on ya... if i were you i'd do timing belt, water pump, and oil pump and call it a day... or say f&*k it and go for an SRT4 Swap

 

If I can the cash/knowledge, I'd have the swap already. I've been thinking, about getting a 2.4 out of a stratus or something and trying to go all motor. Its just a turbo is so much cheaper. Also, Im still paying my dad for the car, and he has something against turbos. Idk, I'll probably change all that, and just tell him thats what the codes mean.
