I have the 2.7 and just recently my oil light started to flicker at idle with brake applied. Now it is at every stop after about 5 minutes of driving. Here in the past couple of days it is getting worse and I am assuming the worse (oil pump or bearings). I just replaced the oil sending unit today and there is no help with my problem. Any suggestions? I really don't want to take it to a mech. I have got so many stinking tools I would rather do it myself if it is not as hard as the book suggests it is... timing chain, oil pan.... HELP:banghead:

This has been going on a month now so hopefully no catostraphic failure will occur with my car. However I found something from 1999 that was quite interesting. There is a bulletin out on this light flicker thing. I will attempt to post it here now. I still haven't attempted a new oile sending unit yet but will this weekend. I will let you know how things turn out. If not I am going to try this bulletin fix. Good luck!!
