Probably the oil pressure sensor or oil level sensor. It's not overfilled, is it? If you overfill the oil, it can cause the oil pressure to rise too high

Fact of the matter is if it is over -full. the crankshaft will dip into the oil in the pan and whip it in to a foam like a blender..... and by doing so LOWER the oil pressure because the oil pump can't pick up the thin mix of motor oil, it has no 'substance' to it, only air and foam.

I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla with 130K miles. We recently had a lot of rain and the water line on the car indicates that the yard was flooded up to about mid bumper on the car. The car did have about 1/4 inch of standing water in floor. The car idled a little rough when first started, but drove fine for a couple short trips from the house. The third trip was about a mile and a half away and the car stopped on us. We now cannot get it to stay running unless our foot is on the gas. Any suggestions as to what could be wrong with it? 3 Answers
