Did i just buy a lemon?
Upon inspection, everything seemed ok. Noticed a ticking lifter noise and assured me its not a big deal and have been driving the van daily with his delivery company. He also advise me to replace the spark plug as it got a reading for cylinder 1 misfire. I was sold like a fool. On my way home, I notice the oil pressure gauge was not working (always read high) so I replaced the oil sensor, spark plugs, coils, fuel injector for cylinder 1. So the problem still isn't fixed and it intermittently shake on idle and acceleration. Also the new oil sensor reads very low pressure, almost to none. Is this the end for me? Does this call for a engine rebuild? Seems like all these problem are related to a bad engine. Am I missing anything? Is a minor repair/part still on the table? What else can be done to route the issue? Thanks in advance! |

Is there a check engine light on? What is the code?
|
Check engine light ready P0301.
If my cylinder is bad, can i simple just replaced the head or will i have to replace the entire engine? |
Short answer, yes. The repairs themselves may be minor but you're going to spend a lot of time tracking them down (or spend a lot of money replacing things until it works).

What shape is the oil? I'd try changing it and maybe stepping up a weight to see if the oil pressure changes.

Do a compression test on #1 to make sure you don't have a real mechanical cylinder problem.
Spray starting fluid around the intake runner for #1 to see if you have a vacuum leak. |
Pick up tube o ring
my oil pressure drop to about 10 lb while driving it was suggested to me that the o-ring between the pickup tube in the oil pump may have deteriorated I drop the pan put an o-ring in silicone the pan backup took me about an hour and total my oil pressure is now 35 lb while cruising
