"What do you think my problem is"........heh....... "Excuse me, it is ME who that is sorry to be a prick" ...because what ONE of your problems is you not checking out all of our wonderful threads all about this...."delicate" subject ...second MIGHT be, MAYBE, I don't know, COULD be you not taking things apart and investigating things for yourself. ....although THAT can be MUCH more in depth and the concept can be varied quite a bit. Especially coming from me : D ...third potential "problem"( or factor) you're already on the interwebs, aren't ya?? GOOGLE THAT SHIT lol Now, just for conversation's sake, A. What's your location, B. What else is wrong with her?

I said sorry hey man, tough love here, for real. We get a lot of people here who just expect us to know all the answers right off the bat, and I'm not assuming you are right now. Hence, the smileys, winkeys, the "lols".

Not helpful bizzaro. If you know of relevant information, post the links. He wants info on where to start and what to take apart, you failed to answer entirely.
What makes you think it is not pumping? Is the light coming on or do you have a gauge?
A few places to start would be changing the oil and filter, removing the oil pump and either replace it or inspect it, install a mechanical gauge if not already fitted to get better data on the problem.

I completely agree with Armageddous change oil and filter, use recommended oil spec or thicker, as a start. A mechanical gauge would give you an accurate reading right away and help diagnose a faulty pressure switch.
If pressure is dropping for sure in your engine it is because something is wearing out or already worn out. Oil pump is a good easy start, as Armageddous stated before.
Good luck with your justy! I got tons of help here with mine thats for sure!
