out of nowhere
So I have a friend with a 94 formula m6 that i am posting for. His computer is currently down. Anyway, he got an oil change today and on his way home he stopped at a light and his oil pressure dropped to 0, when he hit the gas it rose back up to 40-60. We thought it might have been the wrong filter so we went and got the correct one and it didnt fix anything. When the car stops quickly, the oil pressure drops to zero and when you hit the gas it goes back up to normal. Any ideas??

call me an idiot but what pickup line? for the sensor? The oil pressure fluxuates just like mine when your driving, its just when you make a sudden stop

yup pickup fell off. Not good! just hit the bottom of the pan with your hand. if you hear something bounce around inside then it is the pickup. oil pan needs to be removed. Dont keep dropping it down to 0 otherwise he will be rebuilding his engine
this problem needs to be fixed ASAP!
this isnt an LT1 but this is what it looks like. it connects to the oil pump and goes to the bottom of the oil pan so its always sucking up oil.
