#15 of 17 high oil pressure 99 blazer 4.3 by odaat Oct 03, 2009 (12:13 am)
recently when i start the engine i hear a slight ticking noise from the engine,and the oil pressure climbs to 60, (it is normally40) /after a few miles the pressure will return to normal / speculation is perhaps the oil pump is bad, or i should try a different viscosity oil perhaps 5w/30 / anyway this is a baffling problem, do you have any suggestions, thanks Replies to this message: jlflemmons (Oct 03, 2009 6:48 am)

Replying to: odaat (Oct 03, 2009 12:13 am) What are the outside temps? Not likely the oil pump, try an oil change with Castrol or Valvoline 10W30 and AC Delco PF52 (high capacity) filter. How many miles on the engine?

Replying to: allen30 (Aug 16, 2009 9:43 am) My sisters '91 Blazer does the same thing. The gauge kinda act like a RPM gauge. Did you find out what your problem was? Her also seem to just stop for no reason. It will stumble and die. A day later it's fine again like nothing has happened. It seam to come and go. Sometimes she can only drive for like 5min before it start to stumble and want to die. Others it will be fine for a week.
