Just got my '01 XJ and when I pull up to red lights and the engine idles, oil pressure drops to 0 and the check engine light comes on. Give it some gas and it come right back up. Thought it was the oil pressure sensor but that didn't solve the problem. Maybe they put the wrong grade of oil in it??? It doesn't do it while the oil is cold. The oil is at 45-50 psi idling after starting it and the engine is cold, then it runs at about 40 through the engine warm up at anywhere from 1500-3000 rpms, nearing full temp it falls to 20-30 at idle, at full temp it's at 25-40 from 1500-3k rpms and at idle it will fall to 0. The engine is not making any noise when the pressure drops to 0 on the gauge. Nor is it making any weird noise at any other time. I'm thinking it has to be the oil pump.
Any thoughts anyone? Thanks!
