Once engine is warm the idle oil pressure on vcds says Min , is this a sign the pick up is blocked or pump worn , im trying to get to the bottom of my rough hunting idle and slight misfire when first started for about 30 secs also throws cam/crank correlation fault all the time but does not bring the MIL light on everytime , im thinking the oil pressure is down a bit and thus the cam chain adjuster is not doing its job , the adjuster looks new and i did find some bits near it from an older adjuster (bits of brown plastic from the original chain guide which must have disintegrated) the replacement guide is black plastic not the browny colour like the original.

Oh and as soon as i literally breath on the throttle the oil pressure goes to OK.

Any help really appreciated as its P***ing me right off.
 
Is there any point to this area of the forum , nobody ever seems to reply ?
