Hi, my name is\*\*\*\*\*’ve been a technician on Just Answer since 2007 and I'll be helping you today. I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulties with your vehicle. I know how inconvenient car trouble is, but together, we will get your vehicle back up and running quickly.
You're going to want to get an oil pressure gauge and check the oil pressure. It's possible the oil pump is worn out or wearing out. If the mechanical pressure is good, then it's likely a wiring issue.
At idle fully warmed up the oil pressure should be 4.3 psi or more, then at 3000 rpms it should be 43-78 psi
