i'm having a pronlem with my 94 ford explorer. for some reason it loses oil pressure whenever i come to a stop. oil pressure is fine while in neutral and while i'm moving. i was losing water. i couldn't find any leaks. my friend said he had a vehicle that did the same thing, and said he replaced the water pump, and that fixed the problem. i replaced the water pump and everything was fine for about a weak. temp is still fine, but the oil pressure drops whenever i come to a stop. if the tranny is in neutral the oil pressure is fine. it oil drops when in gear. someone please help me out with this.
AFAIK Ford oil pressure senders are set at ~7-8 lbs. It could be a bad switch or wrong type oil filter or worn out oil. But if it isn't it's rod bearings.
A cheap fix if you do it your self and don't mess any thing up when you do it. Not hard to do but the Y pipe might give you grief.
