Re: 1990 Pontiac 6000, Starts then stalls

Just a quick note/correction. I know GM did NOT make a 5-speed AWD ANYTHING....and also, the oil pressure switch does NOT shut off power to the fuel pump if there is no oil pressure. In fact it is the opposite; once oil pressure rises to the threshold of the switch it supplies power to the pump to keep it running in case the fuel pump relay fails. If the fuel pump relay is operating correctly, you could have 0 psi oil pressure and still have fuel pressure. This is a common misconception (oil pressure switch as a fuel pump shut-off) that can be de-bunked by a quick inspection of the wiring diagrams (assuming basic electrical knowledge).

Mike.
