Might have a bad oil pressure switch or low fluid sensor that is usually hooked up in that same circuit.

Check autolibrary (through my "The Basics") post.

Most times, the sensor is in the oil pan and the sender in the oil filter housing or engine block.

Hi. I have a 1985 Ford Bronco full size 4x4, with carburator, 5.8 engine 8 cilinders (51 windsor?), automatic. Each time a make a stop or I reduce my speed the engine stops or is about to stop when I acelerate again. This is very dangerous when I try to make a turn and the engine stops just in the midle of the street! Please help, thank you in advance. PS Motor oil and gasoline are at the right level.

Engine missing - 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager

twebb455 on Dec 14, 2002

I have a 1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager with a 3.3L V6. About a couple of months ago it started having a strong gas smell when it was first started. Now it's harder to start and still has the gas smell. Yesterday I noticed a loss in power and it is now missing. It will do it while driving down the road but is more noticeable when sitting at a stop. When accelerating you can here pops as it back fires. I also noticed the exhaust has a bad smell. Does anyone have any ideas as to the problem? I'm wondering if it's a choke &/or timing issue. Thanks for the insight.
