ok i have abolutely no oil pressure what so ever, my oil light is on and if i take off my oil filter nothing will come out so i was told i need to replace my oil pump but i do not know if any thing else can be wrong inside. do you think if i replace my oil pump on my b16 my oil pressure will return with no problems or should i just say expletive it and get another block

 

There could be many problems. YOu muct pull off the oil pan 1st to see if there is anything blocking the oil pickup or screen. The pump can be removed and inspected if the pickup is clean. If those both pass the test the problem lies in the bottom end bearings.
If this motor has been ran without oil pressure it may be too late. Is it high milage and worth fixing? Check this out. Pill off a bearing cap and see the condition and platiguage them.

sorry about all the spelling errors im tired

 

I've got the same problem. No oil pressure at all. Car won't start either.

 

is it after a motor swap? o rit just wont start after it ran fin ethe prior day. when you remove the oil pump you can look down the passage to see if there is anything that may have fell into the passage.

i had pressure and it dropped to 0 i shut the motor down checked everything started up still 0psi so i took of the oil pan and i had sludge and debree from the fresh rebuild cleaned ou t the pick up and oil pan swapped filter and it was golden

It is a swap, but it's been running fine for 5 years prior. Just out of the blue, bam, no power. When I call the dealership, I'll mention that idea.

 

may sound stupid but you never mentioned it. when was the last time you changed your oil?

 

Broken oil pump rotor for both of you.Aftermarket crank pulley?

The next oil change is coming up in about 100 miles, so it's not like it's overdue or anything.

Please tell me that's not super expensive to fix.

Stock crank pulley.

 

about 90 bucks or so for the pump, the pain in the dyk is taking everything off to get to it

give yourself about 4-6 hours to do it

 

Update: The Dealership said it was the timing belt. That makes no sense with the oil light coming on, but whatever.
