ok so i have a 2.3 l mustang and i bought it after it sat 4 awhile and so i changed the oil and a couple other things and it drove fine 4 like a month and then the oil pressure went to nothing and it started making a ticking noise (not a grinding noise) so i parked it and changed the oil pump and nothing changed so i have heard from alot of people that the problem is that 1 of the oil lines that go to the top of the engine is clogged and i put rizlon in when i changed the oil pump it was sappose 2 get rid of oil build up but it hasn't worked so does any1 know how 2 clean out the lines that bring the oil 2 the top of the engine?Any1 know about engines? wat about a 92 2.3l mustang?
Ok you changed the pump but what about the screen?
The gaskets are known for coming apart, clogging the screen and causing loss of oil pressure on those models.
and the only ways to clean the ports if they are blocked are to steam the motor... the flushes work sometimes, sometimes no..depends upon the damage...
Pull the valve cover first and see if their is a buildup of gunk there.. if yes, the passge ways are almost guaranteed clogged... if not, check that screen again... you may have to check the bottom of the pan also (plus make sure you put the pump drive correctly back in the distributor/ oil pump drive...Any1 know about engines? wat about a 92 2.3l mustang?
It probally sat and the oil turned to gunk and even though you changed the oil it already had some in the oil strainer tube in the oil pan. Your only real solution is to take the engine apart and start a rebuild, because it sucked that gunk up into the internals of the engine...
My dad had this happen last year with a F-150 5.0 that had sat for 4 months...Any1 know about engines? wat about a 92 2.3l mustang?
thats what you get when you buy a 4 cylinder mustang
