Re: 93' 1.9L/ 4cyl./auto- OIL PUMP?

[quote=mightymoose_22;5970566]If the engine keeps stalling right away then that explains why oil pressure is not building up. A failed oil pump wouldn't cause the engine to stall as you describe either.

Take your spark plugs out and inspect for any signs of trouble.
With the plugs removed, rotate the engine manually on the crank bolt and see if you can feel any obstructions as you go through a few revolutions. If it seems smooth then you might be ok.
I'll start w/ this. Plan for the worst, hope for the best & post as I go. "What doesn't kill you, only makes you wish you were dead, but nobody gets out alive!". Thanks!
