I bought this car with a broken timing belt. Not only did I replace it, I did the water pump, head gasket, machined head, I mean the works. I got it all put back together and when it got up to temperature the oil pressure light came on and it is in limp mode. (Won’t go past 4K rpm) The oil level is perfect. It has 180k miles on it, with the crappy d17a2 motor in it. Please help. I have too much money and time invested in this to just give up now. I have also been in search of a oil pressure gauge to make sure the problem is not electrical, have not been able to locate one for rent.

 

Just the oil pressure warning light and no CEL? If a CEL, what is the code?
