Is the TPS adjustable? It didn't say anything in the Haynes manual about adjusting it when replacing on my '90.People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. ~ George Orwell

not really. The TPS OK range is something like .7-1.2 volts with the throttle closed so as long as its in there, you're fine. The 0.98 thing is not important, its just the middle of the range.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

i forgot to metion that i have a yellow oil light and red engine light the red engine light
is the one that flickers when i come to a stop from driving and when stoped if i turn
the wheel left or right the light gets brighter,oil light dosent come on at all.so im lost cause when i give it gas the light goes off is the oil and engine light just for oil or
is the engine light for overheating and if i had low oil press wouldnt the yellow oil light
flicker instedComment

its got oil in it level is fineComment

Did you put 5 qts in it yourself? Or did a shop say they put 5 qt's in it?
I ask cause im sure im not the only one with a screwed up dip stick ( Mine says it only has 4 qts in it when i have just put 5 in it...)People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.Comment

the yellow light means the oil level is low, usually 1 quart low. red means you have no oil pressure, or its overheating. If the light goes out when you give it gas, I'll pretty much guarantee its a low oil pressure problem. The dipstick isn't always reliable. My car 'full' was 1 quart low. Have to change the oil and mark full when you know its actually full. If the level is actually fine, just ignore that red light. The bearings are most likely shot in the motor and it doesn't make pressure any more. Not the end of the world, keep driving, keep oil in the car, and don't beat it to death and it'll run a long time.

my 87 cv wagon just hit 180000 miles and i installed a oil pressure gauge and at idle it only got 8-9 at driving speeds 20 at least so i guess the stalling is from low oil pressure
is it worth to change the bearings and what should be the normal pressure for itComment
-
I got the same oil pressure at hot idel...
I think from what ive gathared though it's an allright PSI.

You'd have to pull the motor to remove the crank to even get to the bearings. If I was going through all that trouble, I would either rebuild the engine, buy an already rebuilt engine, or drop in a low mileage engine. It shouldn't stall from low oil pressure, it should be very loud. You should hear the knocking. I'm not sure what the norm is. My engine, at hot idle, in park with no load is about 50psi. Now that just might be because I replaced the oil pump. This could be another possibility. Your oil pump stopped working or is stopping.Originally posted by rellik god View PostComment

If you have some oil pressure at idle, I wouldn't get too concerned with it. 1 psi per 100 rpm is the general rule of thumb for "ok". 302s don't need a lot of oil pressure to run normally. If you want to rebuild the bottom end, go for it but I'd suggest a crank kit rather than just new bearings. The crank kit will be a set of bearings and a crankshaft thats been polished or turned to some standard undersize. The bearings will match so you get the proper clearances. It will give you better oil pressure, but its not going to make it perform any different.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
