SOURCE: OIL PRESSURE SWITCH CHEVROLET 4.3 1994 SONOMA /S 10
hook up a mechanical gauge and verify the pressure at idle is correct, I suspect the sending unit is defective
SOURCE: Runs Ok...engine warmed up...come to red light or
Sounds to me like the Throttle Position Sensor. Thats usually what makes the throttle "rev" But that is not going to make the oil pressure drop. Pull the codes from your car and look them up online. sometimes there is an extra fuse u can add to your panel and turn the key on and it will flash your codes via the check engine light. i.e. if the light flashes 2 times then small pause then 1 time and long pause that is code 21. if there isnt a extra fuse you can usually jump it with a paperclip and pull the codes. not really sure how to do that with yours. but im positive Google knows ;)

I didnt mention that it start to happened when I change the oil. I just have buy this car. I used 10W-30 castrol oil, but my mechanic suggest me a 20W-50 because is better for hi temperature, like here in my country, Panama. For example, yesterday was a very hot day, and the problem appear, but today, just have problem in the mourning, but in the evening, with the rain, the problem doesn't appear. What do you think?
Hi people,
