Subject: death of a 1.9 :(

> Well, my engine issues on the 1.9 went from annoying to critical. I was
trying to work out a rough idle when cold, but that doens't matter anymore.
Over the past couple weeks a flashing oil light (at idle) after running a
long time has changed to a solid oil light when warm (again, at idle). I'm
going to put a guage on it just to verify, but I think this engine's lived
it's useful life -- and only 184k too :) The wiring checks out fine.
