Engine Mechanical problem
1991 Pontiac Bonneville 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 175k miles

My oil light came on and wont shut off, and my
oil pressure guage went up to. I am not a rich man
and cant afford to take it to a shop. Is there any way I can check the oil pump to see if it is working or is there anything else that could be the problem. Please get back to me as soon as you can.
Thank You

You need to use a mechanical gauge to check oil pressure to rule out the oil pump/engine bearings and the oil pressure switch.
