I had engine oil leaked in my car and the timing chain was broken and I got a warning for low pressure also. Now I fixed everything in my car, even changed the oil pump with sensor clean the blockage, oil pickup, valve. Leaks are fixed timing chain is fixed. Now car is starting with no engine sound also. But still I am getting a warning for low pressure switch off engine. What could be the reason?

To recap you cleaned the oil pump pick up and replaced the pump, also you cleaned out the oil pan and changed the oil filter. There is an oil pressure regulation valve you need to replace as well. This valve will dump pressure if it is not working correctly.

Please go over this guide as well:

Everything has been cleaned. Valve has been changed also. Now my mechanic is saying he will change the camshaft gear and adjuster sensor. Will this fix it?

It should, when the engine is running does it make any abnormal sounds? Can you upload a short video of the engine idling from under the hood? Also the low oil pressure warning is this a trouble code or a light on the dash?

The engine is all fixed right now and there is no sound at all. Yes, there is a warning light on dashboard indicating low oil pressure then sign change into red check oil symbol. There was code also for the oil sensor which I replaced. Yesterday my mechanic changed the camshaft gear and adjuster. Today we had a test drive. I drove the car for at least 1 hour and there were no warning or such things but after 1 hour of driving again the warning came. Now the mechanic changed the camshaft all. Will see tomorrow what will happen.
