VR6 Oil Pressure Issue

[81azdmini]

Hi Guys, Was just hoping to get some guidance in regards to my VR6 and the oil pressure problem i am having.

At first i was cruising down the road and the light and buzzer came on at around 2200 - 2500 rpm. I stopped the car and checked to make sure the sensor wires were on correctly and no oil was leaking.

All appeared to be good so i limped it home and did more research, i replaced the two sensors hoping it was going to be that easy but it did the same after i fitted new sensors.

I took the sump off and found parts of my cam chain guides in the oil pick up, so i cleaned it all out checked the oil pump tolerance and refitted the pump and sump with fresh Penrite HPR 15 SAE 15W-60.

I do plan to fix the guide but really want to sort this oil pressure issue out, is it possible the two are related? I don't think so but that's why i am asking.

So i bought a gauge and to see what the actual pressure is and i found:

At Idle


At 3000 rpm with the buzzer and light going off



If anyone has anything to add or anything else they can suggest i can check please post it up.

Thanks
