Hi fellow XJ folks. I have a '99 XJ Sport. Recently, at idle, the oil pressure has been falling off to zero, until I tap the gas.
I am assuming the head isn't cracked. I can't decide if the sensor is going bad or if the oil pump is going.
I was thinking that the right way to attack this is to get a manual oil pressure gauge first and verify that the pressure is in fact falling off.
Based on that, I would know if the sensor is the likely culprit or the oil pump.
Make sense?
Thanks!
