or not to the message board. Many of you don't know me as I did not post as much as my friend Polara did on here. Anyways, I have a new found interst in mustangs and have just recently purchased a 91 Mustang GT.

I love the car, it's in good condition, it seemed fairly mechanicly sound, had a manifold leak and a valve cover leak. Before I get to far in this description, let me forwarn you, I don't know much about cars.

Well, I've only had the car for 6 days, and last night on the way home from out of town (about a 40 min drive, I come up to a stop and realize my oil pressure hits bottom... I'm like ok, might just be it's the first time I've actually taken it on a road trip, might be a one time deal. I start going again, it regains pressure and goes back to normal, cool deal... I thought. Anyway, I get back to town (no more stops b/t here and there) and get close to my destination when I come up to a red light, boom... geuss what happens when I come to a stop? Anyway, to make a long story short, now, from about 5 mins after cranking my car and driving some, if my car drops below 1k RPM, the oil pressure bottoms.

My question to all of you, any ideas/suggestions? We are thinking it's the oil pump, but before going to far, I would like to get all possibilities and see what I might be dealing with.

Thanks in advance.


*edit* Yes my name says CougarRage, that's because I was driving a 88 Cougar XR7, with the lovely 5.0, the same one used in Mustangs of that year.
