I have a 1997 Pathfinder that's been sitting for the last two years only started it occaisionally. Yes it did have a fuel stabilizer in it. I have recently put it on the road for my daughter who returned from college. Now I have a problem with the oil pressure. I changed the oil and filter and still an intermitent oil pressure problem exists. If I shut the engine off and restart it I have pressure but as soon as I drive away with in a mile I loose pressure. What might it be and how do I fix it before she ruins the engine?? Help please!!!

Pull oil pan and remove sludge, clean oil pump.

Did that today seems to have cured the problem although there wasn't a lot of sludge? I guess it was because the vehicle had set so long? Thanks!!
