I am writing this letter in hope that I can discover what is wrong with my 1993 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas. Recently, I have noticed that the oil pressure gauge is showing low oil pressure when the engine is first started, at cold idol, the needle stays steady on the first mark above zero on the gauge. The needle does not move upon forward acceleration. When the engine reaches the normal operating temperature, there is a slight decrease in the oil pressure. When the car is allowed to coast, the oil pressure drops to zero and the oil light illuminates. The oil light remains lit until the accelerator is pressed, however: even with heavy acceleration, the oil pressure indicator refuses to point above the first marking above zero, on the gauge. Note: The oil level is full and the engine makes no unusual noises. I would appreciate any insight as to where I should begin to remedy this problem.
