The old 9kT gave me a pretty good scare this weekend. I had noticed that the oil pressure light had been staying on longer at start up than normal. Not too bad, but definitely enough to catch my eye. Saturday night it stayed on for about 10 seconds, but I was running late and left anyway (probably poor judgement).. A few miles down the road, I heard a terrible grinding noise. I killed the engine, pulled over, and assumed the worst.
The next morning I had the car towed home, cranked the engine and listened for the noise. Hmm, sounds like it’s coming from the accessories. Upon further inspection, one of the bolts holding the two halves of the alternator together had backed out and was hitting the alternator fan. Problem solved. Put in a new oil pressure sensor, and that’s back to normal too.
I guess the old girl just likes to keep me on my toes.
