91 sunbird oil pressure gauge jumping up and down coul it be?

the oil pump was replaced 2 yrs ago.if it were the problem would it go out slowly like this, or all at once(whats the most likley?)also used oil treatment(which had the consistency of sticky grease)ive heard it may have caused a clogging type problem with the pump.im changing oil tomorrow just in case,but i would appreciate anyones ideas on this matter.i know its an old junker but its all ive got,any help greatly appreciated,than you.

Loose connector at the sending unit or bad sender would be first to check.

More than likely the oil sender unit. my astro van does the same, I put on an aftermarket gauge and that stays steady.

Evening, I have a toyota camry le with V6. Today I had to change a tire and manage to break two wheel studs in the process. Is there a way to replace just the two broken studs and if so how is it done. Thanks

Water Pump - 90 Nissan Maxima - needs to be replaced

S

soterialive on Mar 19, 2007

As stated I have a 90 Nissan Maxima that has a bad water pump and needs to be replaced. I do not have any experience with engine maintenance but I am a very competent person and not afraid of taking on new challenges. With a manual and a decent set of instructions I can do almost anything. Here is my question: Is this something I should take on myself to save money or just give in to my mechanic and fork over 400$!? This car is starting to get a little expensive in maintenance so I would rather take matters into my own hands. Any thoughts? Do it yourselfers and Professionals need only reply with realistic answers. Thanks so much in advance for your help.
