Re: No oil pressure....

Have you tested the oil pressure sending unit? That might be causing the
check engine light to come on.

This was my first thought. The odds of the oil pump failing is  
substantially lower than the odds of the pressure sending unit  
failing. Definitely worth checking before you scrap or pump big bucks  
into the car.

*******Both good calls, gents, but yes, it has been tested with the sending
unit out and a gauge screwed in. Also have been tested after changing the
oil filter in case of blockage. It's either the pump or the pressure valve
in the pump.

I may have a local buyer....a friend who needs a car for his daughter. It
would be super for that.  If that doesn't work out, I may donate it to a
local community college and take a tax deduction. I should be able to value
it at retail and get a decent return on the deduction.
