[QUOTE="jfbrubaker1969, post: 28358, member: 10675"] Turns out to be a faulty oil pressure switch. I bought an oil pressure set from Harbor Freight, removed the old sensor, connected the oil pressure gauge (it was a PITA for a guy like me with big hands!) I disconnected the injectors and removed the spark plugs so I could crank the engine with the least amount of resistance...oil pressure got up to about 30 PSI. Feeling good about that result, I put the spark plugs back in and connected the injectors and started it up. At around 1000 rpm the oil pressure was about 65PSI...right where it should be! I removed the oil pressure gauge and put in the new oil pressure sensor, started it up and no more low oil pressure warning! I just let it idle for about 10 minutes and now I'm going to take it out for a test drive. I noticed the radiator drain cock is dripping a little, so I'll have to sort that out, but it looks like I'm finally done! I'll report back later with how the test drive went. [/QUOTE]
