Oil pressure & start up
Now this has only happened once and since then everything seems to be normal. Was stopping at a gas station and as I about to leave the car wouldn't start. I got one warning and it went away. However I noticed the oil pressure said zero. None of the other gauges were high temp or not reading any issues. Also no check engine light. Fluke or bad sensor?

How many times driven and miles between "happened once and since then everything seems to be normal"

Maybe 10 miles. Happened yesterday. Did a couple rides around the block to see if it would repeat but nothing

So I ran the codes
P0060-00 U2100 To answer your question. 10 miles before it happened and 10 after it happened. Drove fine today. |

Those codes don't seem to have anything to do with each other nor with anything to do with oil pressure readings. The fact that your oil pressure reading is normal now AND that you mentioned you had a starting problem AND stabilitrac light STRONGLY suggests an electrical problem. If you haven't done any starting system components mods or engine mods recently that woud have affected underhood wires then battery is prime suspect. Check its voltage and have it load tested too. Low voltage fluctuations cause all kinds of funky things in our cars.

GM oil pressure sending units have a long history of this. Don't be surprised when one day it reads 80psi.

Yeah bone stock. so I did check the battery visually and was corrosion on the thermals. Not much but I'll probably replace the battery tomorrow

is it possible to recognize the difference between the oil pump failure and the oil sensor failure? And failure battery...? George |

If you actually had low oil pressure, and not just a faulty oil pressure sending unit. You would hear the top end of the motor.

So new battery installed. Started driving home and I get a high temp engine at idle while at a traffic stop. Currently at the time of this post sitting in a parking lot

So ran codes again and nothing. Ac full blast to try and trigger a code while in drive (parked of course) and no rising temps. Sitting at 223.

Coolant for the engine. All other gauges reas normal. I've tried to get it to do what it did but its staying normal again. Maybe new battery triggered something?
