They also towed me from my first mechanics shop for a decent price.
I am going to end up writing him a review online.

Re: Oil pressure drops to zero, Car stutters and turns off

Solution: Fuse and a bad PCM (or ECM).


We had it taken to a new mechanic who happened to have a OBD 1.5, he was able to find the blown fuse and bad PCM on the spot. He first replaced the fuse and the car would run very rough. Then he replaced the ICM and it would run decently again. It was really ...

Re: Oil pressure drops to zero, Car stutters and turns off

Hey RJolly87, the only gauge I notice move at all was the oil pressure. The others stayed about the same but I do not know about the tachometer. I probably would have noticed if it was jumping though since I've had experience a crankshaft sensor dying on me once.

Also, I didn't see a security light ...

Re: Oil pressure drops to zero, Car stutters and turns off

The engine did not seize, it rolled to a stop as if it was having trouble getting gas or no spark. I am not sure of its condition right now, specifically if the key is turning it or not (I didn't hear that straight from the mechanic). When I last had it at the mechanics shop the day it died it would ...

Re: Oil pressure drops to zero, Car stutters and turns off

I am not fully involved in whats going on with the car since my parents took over. But what I have heard just now is that the mechanic put about $650 worth of time and parts into the car and was still not able to figure it out and says that all it could be now is some computer part that apparently ...

Re: Oil pressure drops to zero, Car stutters and turns off

Well I had it taken to a mechanic and he is running a diagnostic on it, he doesn't seem to think it has anything to do with the oil pressure. I think that this year of Pontiac has the kind of OBD that was between 1 and 2 so I've never been able to have anyone scan it.

Oil pressure drops to zero, Car stutters and turns off

Hey guys, first of all I would like to thank you guys for years of useful advice and instructions for keeping my Pontiac alive. I probably wouldn't be driving her if this website didn't exist.

Here's my issue. This morning I started my 1995 Pontiac Bonni SE and got her onto the freeway, suddenly my ...
