Needle drops when engine at idle. When engine in neutral or park pressure is good. When engine is running at top speed needle in normal position. Replaces oil pump and pressure gage and problem still exists.

Can you get a picture of where the needle is at idle while in gear? Then we need to hook an actual mechanical gauge to the engine so we can see what the actual PSI is at idle.

Let me know what you find with the pressure and we can go from there. Thanks
