I have an accord 96 that has 100,000kms on it. had an oil change recently.
A few days after this oil change, I had an overheat and after this overheat, the oil pressure warning light started acting eratically.
First, after a cold start, the light does not turn on but after the engine warms up, the light flashes. The problem is, while revving the engine, the light goes off and immediately goes on again when the engine is idle.
To address my original problem, mechanics informed me that they would change the oil sending unit, change thermostat valve and thermostat switch.
After this, the problem was still the same (light goes off with revving). They recommended a general overhaul for the reason that the engine had so much sludge and they blamed the problem on the engine flush that was included during the change oil.
Now, i really dont know what to do next. General overhaul is too expensive for my budget.. Any tips?
Thanks very much!
