trying to help my sister out. she has a mid 90's cheap. she called me the other day saying she needed the exhaust manifold and egr tube to the cat? possibly the engine since it keeps losing oil press when she lets off the gas and one of the intake/exhaust manifold bolts is stripped out. it s p.o.s. 4 cyl. any suggestions of where i can find cheap parts, let me know. thanks

i figured somebody might know someone who ripped everything out and slammed a v8 in it and has parts laying around. thanks in advance.

Where are you at in Texas?

OK. here's one I can definately answer.

There is a company called Dorman that markets all of that kind of stuff under the names Dorman, Help, and Motormite; available at most auto parts stores worth a darn...

as far as the oil pressure loss goes, look at the oil pressure sending unit and see if it's leaking out of the wire terminal end... that would explain the oil leak and the funky oil pressure...

i am in austin, texas. i have replaced the sending unit twice. once becuase it was leaking, the other time just to see if it would make a difference. still does it. she decided to use lucas. helped for a while, then now its doing it again. sadly, she keeps adding more and more lucas and to the point its getting hard to start. i warned her not to, but good luck reasoning with a female. its my job as a brother to fix her f**kups.

2 years ago, she said she heard a slapping noise when driving. eventually it went away. then all the sudden it started making grinding noises. crawled under there and theres a 2 inch by 3 inch hole in the transfer case from where the chain was slapping it and it ate a hole in the side. how in the heck?? anyways. there was a jeep 4x4 group by college station i was able to find a case to rebuild her transfer but cant remember how i found them. those guys had all sorts of parts.
