#20 of 21 Oil pressure light and lack of power by davis911s Dec 09, 2008 (1:35 pm)
Ok here is my situation 1998 Chev Venture 160,000 km The other night we had a big snowfall (not sure if that matters) I drove home in this and parked the car out front of my house. No problems. The next morning I go to start the van, startss running real rough, the check engine light flashes and the oil PRESSURE light comes on. I drive it back to my house (about 200 feet) and the bus idles real bad for about 30 seconds then dies. Oil level is good. I started the van this morning and drove it around back and into my garage, ran like HELL and lights still on. I know it wasn't the best to drive it but I need it in my garage not on the street. It sounds like an oil pump but man there was no warning, do pumps just GO or do they usually give a warning? How can I test the pump? Is there anything electrical that it can be? I awas thinking something got disconnected or wet or something during the drive in the snow?? Sounds unlikely but one never knows What about the timing belt? I have never changed that, if it jumped timimg would it cause these symptoms? Thanks I will run a scan on it tonight and let you know the results. Shawn
