Oh boy! I'm having another problem with my car. At idle, the oil pressure light comes on. However, when I accelerate, it turns off.

I changed the oil and filter, just in case. The oil level is correct. The oil pressure sensor doesn't leak oil. There are no strange noises coming from the engine.

Could the oil pump be bad? The car has almost 65,000 miles.

The cheap way to check it would be to replace the oil pressure sensor and if it still does it then you have excessive clearance in the rotating assy. of the engine, ussually worn bearings.

I checked the oil pressure with a gauge and it's below specifications. The oil pressure sensor is fine.

The mechanic suggested to replace the oil pump to see if it fixes the problem. The last thing I want to do is rebuild or replace the engine. I'm sick and tired of this POS. Hurray for Hyundai's quality!

Never mind, the engine is no good.

Well, it was good while it lasted, specially during the times when the car was running properly. Thanks everyone.
