so.. i dont know if this is all coincidental or tied togethor. but better to have more than not enough information. after i got my tb... i replaced the cpas sensor behind ps pump. some time later i replaced the pressure switch above the oilfilter. my tb really liked to go through oil. half qt to whole every month or so. couple months ago it over heated and i had a huge crack in radiator, no clue how it happened.. either way fixed...after that.. the water pump was out again... bad bearing second one i put in since i got it 4 or 5 years ago. week or 2 ago the check engine light starts coming on intermitently. i check codes and it is giving me the 14 code for the cpas again. i am also do for an oil change.

so today i am coming home from town.. in the 90s. i turn and come down the hill to where i live and the check gauges light comes on. and then low oil pressure starts flashing in the display and telling me to shut car off. i parked it..came back out checked fluids..all fine.. checked my scanner only code it gave was for the stupid cpas. i turned it back on and let it run for a min. and only the check engine light for the cpas. any ideas? i dont have the means nor the money to do a lot.

Does it make any noise? If not, quite possible the oil pressure switch has gone bad again, especially if it's aftermarket. It's not too expensive as a first shot in the dark. If that doesn't fix it, then definitely check or have checked actual oil pressure.
