1999 chrysler sebring oil pressure drops when the car warms up but wheh you mash the gas, the pressure rises.the car use to shut off when the oil pressure droped but now it dosent. i replaced the oil pressure switch,had the fule pressure checked.sometimes the car runs good and other times when the pressure drops it feels like the car iscutting back.
rickyrt441, dose your sebring cut off when the oil pressure drops?sometimes it will start right back but sometimes it takes 10 to 15 min to start again. i replaced the oil pressure switch,had the fule pressure checked.is there another sensor to check or replace?rickyrt441, dose your sebring cut off when the oil pressure drops?sometimes it will start right back but sometimes it takes 10 to 15 min to start again. i replaced the oil pressure switch,had the fule pressure checked.is there another sensor to check or replace?

I think your sensor may be affective. The same thing happens to my sebring and it has been like that forever. You can check the oil pressure sensor and see if it needs replaced.

Once stopped, fuel injector(s) may be leaking and flooding the engine. Hook up fuel pressure gauge and run engine, then watch gauge when you turn off. If pressure quickly drops, pull spark plug(s) to see if they are gas soaked.
It may be the oil pump. If the gauge is going up when the rpms increase it's probably not the gauge or pressure switch. If the computer senses the oil pressure is low it will shut the vehicle off to try to save it's self from catastrophic failure. Also it may start cranking longer before starting. Thats it building oil pressure before the computer will let it start. Make sure oil is full, clean & thick.
low on oil or a worn oil pump in the engine. oil gets thinner as the engine temperaure rises so if the oil level is up you have a weal oil pump which should be replaced
Anytime the oil light goes on, I would think that the pressure has dropped, assuming the oil sending unit is working properly.
How long ago was the engine oil changed?
I had a low oil pressure signal in a 1997 Cadillac Deville LImousine which went away after I had the engine oil changed.
Sometimes, the wrong viscosity or oil break down can cause the oil pump not to generate enough pressure for the oil pressure light to go on.
I looked at the Recalls for the 2.7L engine and couldn't find anything regarding engine oil pressure light going on mistakenly, but this doesn't mean that it's not a problem on your vehicle. There are 2 other sized engines for this vehicle.
So, what's the engine size for this Chrysler Sebring?
Does the engine smoke at all after all of this?
