If you can find the VIN numbers, how about running a CarFax and see what comes up?

I agree with the above...whoever is paying the bill should be allowed to determine how they will bring the engine back to the condition it was prior to their involvement as long as their decision is based upon a legitimate process of determination. If economics determine for the party paying...

Again...What's wrong with "factory back pressure"?

What's wrong with "factory back pressure"?

If that used exhaust is in stock configuration, that would be correct. Before you purchase it, you may wish to check. You could also mix-match some new parts from Ecklers or Mid_America and save some problems down the road. For example, you might be better served with a new front Y-pipe with...

Has anyone ever powdercoated these rims? Is it possible to powdercoat them?

Have you checked the cats?

You betcha!

I plan on driving the old girl every day, rain or shine, and when I get a chance, working on the interior and get it spiffy. I've already done the doors and now I think I'll take a crack at the seats.

Hib - If the pump was not picking up fuel, it would immediately drop fuel pressure at the fuel rail, correct? If so, that would explain the instantaneous nature of the engine stoppage. Thanks for the correction.

One would think that if it were a fuel pickup issue, the car would not "die" instantaneously, it would pop and gurgle for a couple of seconds at least, and even then it would take a second or two to draw the fuel load from the fuel lines. Also, since it happens with both left and right hand...

Confirmed, it was the oil pressure sender. Replaced it and all is now well. Thanks for everyone's assistance. Damn! These cars are fun!

Do you have a written copy of the warrantee? If so, do you have a lawyer?

That's really cool! I never met him but I recall his contributions here were huge.

Yeah...what he said.

Oy. It appears to be the sending unit. Will be replacing it next week.

I'm going to have my mechanic change it out and look at that end of the system this week. That was my initial thought but I really don't want to drop the pan unless I absolutely have to. I use AC Delco filters. I won't touch a FRAM. I wouldn't put a Fram filter on my lawnmower.

Thanks a lot. I'm not able to get to this right now because it's too humid for me to do much outside but I'll get on it as soon as I can. I'm not too worried about the engine getting fried but it is unnerving. I'm keeping a eye on it and if it suddenly drops, I'll kill the engine stat...

I've killed it and re-started with no change. It still reads a about 30 lbs high. It's never gone to zero or even close. When cold, the OP reads upper 50s at idle. I'm thinking sensor or loose wire so I'll just start digging. I really don't think it's in the dashboard but it's possible.

Two days ago, out of the blue, I started seeing oil pressures in the 70-80 range while at 1500-2000 RPM. Prior to that, I would have 30 or so at idle and 45-55 when at speed (cruising). Any ideas? This is in a 110,000 L98 with no previous problems other than a blown head gasket about 8000...
