uts o? Need to know what I did... In drive, when it gets below about 1500 rpm the oil pressure drops down to zero and engine shuts off... When driving, or in park, makes a LOUD clattering noise. And when driving when usualy the Rpm are about 1500 goin 55, it runs about 2000. Definitely not normal... What could be wrong? Please help!

the oil pressure runs normal when i was driving home when i was goin about 55 on the hwy... and as embarassing as this may be i might as well tell the truth... went backroading on some dirt roads, in low gear... racking up rpms.... having too much fun really
oil pressure only drops to 0 when i came up to stop lights at about 1200 rpm. then the engine would die. when i put it in neutral i'd be light on the gas so it wouldnt die fora couple blocks. naturally i'm not driving it to work... got my car for now
 
well sounds like u threw a rod... is the oil pressure low all the time??....what did u do before the problem started?..... eihter way . any loud clattering noise from an engine is not a good thing.
