Subject:      Oil pressure problems
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hey Folks
    I have a 90 Carat that I presume is having oil pressure problems. I did
the 3000 mile oil change last week and after I cranked it and started to
press on the gas the oil light and buzzer came on. So I pulled over and shut
it down, checked the oil and then cranked it back up. No buzzer until I
pressed on the gas. This went on for a few miles then the noise stopped.
After that it was quiet for 3 or 4 days then it happened again. Same routine
did it for a little while then stopped again. It was quiet for a few days and
then today did the same routine whilst on the way to work. It did not do it
on my way home. The van uses no oil has approx 150,000 on engine. Never had
oil problems before. Runs well. Has plenty of power.It's got me concerned.
I'm anxiously waiting for the dash lights to come on telling me it's no
longer running. Anyone have any ideas or experiences with this kind of event.
Any help will be much appreciated.
        Merv.
