oil pressure problem
i have 235000 miles on my 01 XJ i put a new oil pump in around 120000 miles. Oil pressure is dropping to zero when I stop at a light and when i'm running its just over 20. Do i need to rebuild my engine or do you think its the oil pump again? i do here some slight rattling type noises. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
thanks

Like the others said. You need to verify the pressure. It may something as simple as a bad sending unit, plugged sending unit ports or even a crappy oil filter.

ok i will be taking it to a mechanice to check that pressure but in the mean time i changed the sending unit and it seems be holding the pressure. I am going to put in some 15w 40 and i'll change out that filter too. i thin my CAT is shot too or its the bearings in the motor LOL who knows thanks everyone.
