97 ranger 4.0 245xxx Oil pressure sensor replaced about 6 months ago
Just get it inspected and registered on the way home 3 blocks from my house she start knocking. At the light before my house the oil pressure goes crazy i immediately turn her off. The ol lady comes and gets me and pushes it to the store next to my house. A few hrs later i come get it start it up she seems to run fine i take her home.
Next morning i'm like that was weird i start her she runs fine. So i tell myself let's see what happens i plan a trip to my buddies house about 20 miles away. She took about 4-5 miles to warm up and once she did the knocking comes back and the oils pressure goes crazy and she starts smoking under the hood. I shut her off and the ol lady comes get me.
Come back about dawn put some heavier oil in her. Again she strats right up and runs fine. Again temp take about 4-5miles to warm up. Get her back to the light before my house oil pressure goes crazy.
i haven't done any compression or leak down test. I feel maybe the oil pump is going out any ideas.
