Looking to get some advice here. I'm not sure which way to handle this oil pressure issue I'm having. The oil pressure of my '99 Ranger 3.0 dropped to zero while I was driving. My first thought was cam position sensor, as it is pretty infamous for breaking. However I never had any whining sounds coming from the back of the engine, and I was able to drive the truck home about 3 miles (I had no choice) without any weird noises or other problems.
That led to my second thought that it was just the oil pressure sensor on the block that went bad. So I replaced the sensor and still no oil pressure. Now I'm stuck between either chasing the problem up the line to the oil gauge, or focus back on the cam position sensor.
Any idea which way I should go? I have a bad sciatica, so I can't do too much work on my truck at a time. Thanks.
