It is possible that the issue could be related to low oil pressure in the engine, as this can cause the engine to run roughly. I suggest having a qualified technician take a look at your engine to check the oil pressure and ensure that it is within the acceptable range. Additionally, they should be able to advise you on the best course of action and help you solve any other issues that may be causing the rough running.
The oil light only detects loss of pressure not oil level. Your oil pressure sensor or switch monitors oil pressure in your engine. It sends these signals to the ECU and to your oil pressure gauge or warning light. Swap out the oil pressure switch.
As an aside, I worked in a place with artwork from a very accomplished Toronto artist who signed his artwork just 'HOXHA'.
I have 1999 Lexus ES300. The problem is: Check engine light and SRS light stay on when ignition key out and off; But when I turn the key to run position the check engine light and SRS light not on? Now the car not start. Anyone who know this problem. Please! HELP. God bless America
The same thing happened to my 2003 ES300 - the smoke is coming from the oil seeping into the motor's cylinders. This is the classic "Oil Gelling" problem in Toyota and Lexus vehicles. There is a factory recall on it, but it only covers to 2002 ES300 not 2003. The Lexus dealer confirmed my "oil gel" problem and went to bat for me with Lexus - they got the repair approved - Thank you Mr Local Lexus Dealer! The cost was nearly $4,000 - paid for by Lexus.
Valve stem seals can cause this problem, but normally only when first started. Oil in the rocker cover seaps through the oil seals into the cylinders and is burnt up on start up. Try a "STOP A LEAK" additive and it may reduce the oil consumption and smoke. I found some on e-bay and it worked on my tired old escort. It even stopped the rattling tappets.
