Why do you want to replace the oil pump? I am asking this question for good reason. Engines that have worn bearings will have low oil pressure, and replacing the pump will not solve this problem. If you are replacing the pump because of low pressure, then you really need to consider correcting the cause of the low pressure. To replace the pump, you need to remove the oil pan from the bottom of the engine, which will likely involve raising the engine. Once the oil pan is off, you can readily remove and replace the oil pump.

If the Oil Sending Unit becomes defective, it often keeps the fuel pump running even after the car's engine is shut off. Replacing the Oil Sending Unit should correct the problem. Believe it or not Pontiac uses the oil sending unit as a back up to power the fuel pump.

What is the spark plug firing order for a 1989 Ford Bronco with a 302 Cu. In. V8 engine?
There are three kinds of 302s made from 1982-2001. 5.0L HO This engine was used in 1983-1995 Mustangs, Mark VII Lincolns, and some T-birds and Cougars. All Explorer 5.0L engines are 5.0L HO engines as well. They use the 351W firing order, 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. Except for the 1983-84 Mustangs, all of these engines are roller cam equipped. They use a reverse rotation water pump and front cover. The 1994-5 Mustang and all Explorers use a unique front cover and water pump. 5.0L Full Size Car This engine was used in 1982-1990 Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis. They use the 289-302 firing order, 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. Most of these cars are not roller cam equipped, however sometime in the early 1990s they started using roller cams but retained the 302 firing order. They use a standard (clockwise) rotation water pump and front cover. 5.0L Truck (except Explorer) These engines are similar to the Full Size Car engines, except they use different intake manifolds and camshaft profiles. They also use the 289-302 firing order, 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8. They also began using roller cams sometime in the early 1990s. They use a reverse rotation water pump and front cover.

Good Luck

I recently had an emissions test done on my '90 Ford Bronco, it passed all areas except the HC level. The HC limit is 400ppm @ an idle, the first test my reading was 1812, the shop that tested said that if...
A few suggestions that can help a fresh oil change.I have seen dirty oil peg out the gas analyzer 9999 HC. Replacing the PCV valve if the valve is stuck open all the time it is pulling oil into the intake side of the engine and into the combustion chamber. Hope this helps.

1995 4.9 ltr 78k mi. When car is stopped for red
Probably an oil pump, will it still do this if you rev the engine a little while stopped? If not then you have an oil pump that could be failing or hopefully it is the pressure sensor that is off. either way don't chance it

Just replaced a 1998 catera engine now have no oil pressure was told i had to "prime the pump" how do i prime the oil pump?
The best way to prime the pump hoping that you havent ran the engine to long without oil pressure
is to remove the oil gauge switch ORoil light switch on the engine and get a connector with the correct thread to screw into the block and fit a hose to it and to a 1/2 ltr oil can pump oil in as hard as poss and then turn engine over IN REVERSE(Backwards) 3 times and then (pumping every time) refitswitch and start it should be ok....

Loud niose from centre of manafold motor run nice & smooth ?
on the 302 you can not see the cam and lifters unless you remove the manifold. did you try removing the distributer and turning the oil pump shaft until the light in the dash goes out? that will drive oil to the upper cylinder assemblies, other than that you may be looking at replaceing some damaged bearings and or camshaft.
