  • Reduce Engine Power

    While driving my 1999 3.8 Camaro my REDUCE ENGINE POWER come on? Car is boosting to 4psi but drives fine 0 - 80mph. Ounce over 85mph REDUCE ENGINE POWER oil pressure drops on Gauge and car cant drive over 30 mph. I put oil in engine and pressure goes back to normal. Need some Ideas on what problem could it be:
    1. Head gasket going bad
    2. Oil pump going bad High speed
    3. Need fuel pump turbo
    4. Need water pump due to Turbo

    Let me know:rant:

    See a professional before you blow the engine. I didn't and had to get a new engine, which is giving me problems now with low oil pressure.
    You can blow a rod easy with this engine..trust me.

          id take it back to NA with an na tune to see if anything changes. i dont understand oil pressure dropping like that... u said it helps when you add oil.. is it always low on oil?

              Oil was fine I add more. I started to drive it again and working fine, take it to get dyno and retune turbo. Since this only happeneds at high speed will change injectors and fuel pump.:stp:

                Have you had it scanned? There may be some data you could pull if it was going into reduced power.
