crawford Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I have a 93 Loyale 2wd, auto. Anyway, in January the oil pump went out on me. I was wondering how much engine damage could have occured in the 10 or so miles that I drove it to and from the garage. Is it worth replacing the oil pump, or the engine or the entire car? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm goin to move this over to the old gen side. Even though this is a 90's MY car.....it's still an older body style. The guys over there will probably be more knowledgable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 what happened? did it leak all of a sudden? did the gauge pressure fall to zero? all at once? try checking the wire to the pump sender, it runs along the dipstick tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawford Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 I started the car up one morning and the oil pressure indicator light came on. It normally does this, but usually it goes off once the engine is warm. This time it didn't. I made it to the gas station and then to the shop and home from the shop after they looked at it and told me of the grim situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archemitis Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 your sender unit is porlly out, unless it was clicking like crazy, your pump is fine, and a shop is trying to rip you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawford Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 So how can I tell if it is the sender that is out? How much is that to replace or repair? Thanks Crawford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
