No oil pressure on cold start.... need advice. Hey guys and gals,
Every time I start my 99 TA when it's cold I have no oil pressure, I tap the gas and it shoots up and appears normal. Once the car is warm and I turn it on it's fine and pressure jumps up as normal. At first I thought it was the sending unit for the gauge because it just sounded like a normal cold start.
This morning when I went to leave the firehouse it was 35 degrees outside. I went to start the car and when I came out 5 min later it was ticking really loud. I ran over to it, looked at the gauge and it was at 0 so I shut it off. I started it back up and it was still at 0, I tapped the gas and the oil pressure shot up to normal.
What do you guys think? Oil pump or bearings? Thanks in advance!
