I'm sitting for about 30-45 minutes in traffic last night at idle w/AC running waiting for an accident to be cleared. Apparently some body crashed and burned their SUV. I see my "check your guages" light come on, but didn't notice till about 10 minutes later, 0 oil pressure. I pulled over, shut down and got a AAA tow home. After the car was off the wrecker, I started her up and had oil pressure again. It had about an hour and a half to cool down by the time I was home and restarted it. Tonight when I get home from work I will 1) check the oil, 2) start it up, 3) check oil pressure and if it has oil pressure, 4) let it warm up and see what it does. If it has oil pressure when cold, but not when warm, what could be the problem? I am hoping it is only a sending unit or some minor glitch. The car has 195k, but it has a fresh oil change every 3k. The motor is in good shape just tuned. Any ideas? Thanks
