I am new here as I was recently given a 1993 Stealth, love it! But now I am having an issue with my oil pressure. When I first start it oil pressure is fine, two ticks below half and when I rev up the motor it increases as it should but when it gets warm pressure goes down to nothing. What could cause that?

 

just my idea. start by putting a manual gauge on it. chrysler gauges are known to be less than great most of the time. cause most are electric.

 

Thanks moe for the reply, I have heard that the stock gauges are not that great, but as for now I believe I have the problem solved. I wanted to start at the basic level before I went and replaced the oil pump which is a lot of work. I dropped the oil pan and checked the oil pick up tube and the screen was just caked, so I replaced it and when I started her up the pressure just shot up to half and is holding. The car was stolen and it took five months but we got it back and they had put about a year and a half worth of miles on it and just drove her hard, but some tlc is getting her back in shape. thanks for the reply.
