    I don't want to drive it if there's no pressure!

    Started it up a minute ago, oil pressure jumped up to the middle like normal, then shot down to 0, then shot back up to normal, then 0 and stayed at 0.


    Any thoughts?


    Think it's a bad sensor from being so cold, or what?

    Just washed it yesterday, and it was fine until now.


    No strange sounds or anything.

    It quit sticking on the next start-up, so I will postpone replacing it until I have a nice dry place to do it. :p

    Picked up the new oil pressure switch from AutoZone for $10.

    Thanks all!
