Oil pressure/tremble when accelerating
 
HI,

I bought a 98 Expy Eddie B, had 75000 miles on it.
A few weeks ago it started to sputter/tremble when driving or when the engine was just running. New spark plugs were putin, plus the caps on the valves.
I'm from Belgium, so I don't know how these parts are called in english, but there are two, each one is chrome, long, and are located one right and one left of the engine...
We also performed an engine flush twice, to put the pressure back on, but when we drove the car a bit longer, the pressure light on the dash is on again when coming to a red light or something where we have to stop.
Now, a few weeks later, when starting it in the morning there is a whistling noise, which goes away after a few minutes. But the car also trembles again and doesn't accelarate smoothly at all. It responds pretty late too.
We brought it in several times since we bought it used...and we ask ourselves what is going on...

have your mechanic put a real gauge on the sender port an see what kinda oil pressure your getting , you may need a new oil pump . I've had the electrical senders plug up an give you a false reading

Hi,

After some time the problem got worse. I brought it in, they installed a new oil pump, they called last night but no luck... the pressure goes down after the engine warmed up... what now?
