[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-Nov-02 AT 07:19 PM (EST)]I have a 2000 F150 with a 4.6L. It has approx 75000km on it. The oil pressure guage needle drops to blow L and the oil pressure light comes on. This only happens on initial cold start. After about 3 mins the light goes out and the needle goes back to halfway between L and H on the oil pressure guage. The engine seems to run fine during this period.

I checked the oil level and it is fine. I did a search on this forum with negative results, however I did find a TSB #14907 and BSeqNumber 202...but it did not reveal much info.

What would it take to retify this problem. Any thoughts on what it might be. Is it a problem to drive it this way for any lenght of time.

Thanks in advance
Shawn

 

I have a 2000 f150 and it did the same thing. I can't recall what is was but it is just a oil sensor. I replaced it and my truck is fine now

 

I just posted this same question today, except I have a 2000 F150 5.4L w/ 27,000 miles. Did you resolve your issue ???

Thanks for the reply. I asked around at a few dealership. One service fellow told me to try a new oil pressure sensor first. It kinda looks like a spark plug. Its located near the oil filter. Any way put in the new sensor solved the problem. Best thing is it cost $13.oo CDN.
