Bottomed Out My EVO :\

think my cars down and out guys i was kinda hitting it last night and didn't see a road dip and I hit it, my friend behind me told me he saw a lot of sparks. At first I was trippin' then it kind of faded. But as I was driving to the canibeat meet in milpitas last night, all three ACD lights came on, I was like oh ****..read it could be the pump which is like a 2k fix if im not mistaken? ****ing stupid. But it went away as I parked up and I could switch through all three options. On the drive back, it started up again, so at this point I'm like ****. Then near the highway exist, I noticed as I through the gears in neutral and let the car roll to the red light, my Defi oil pressure gauge dropped damn near to zero and started beeping and felt like the car was gonna die, but as soon as I rev it, the pressure shoots up then drops down. Its ONLY in neutral and when the cars rolling, when I'm driving pressure is solid. I feel like I dented my oil pan and ****ed the pickup up. Any ideas guys? I checked my ACD pump, by doing that little test where you turn the ignition on and push the gas pedal down and you hear the pump engaging (pretty sure thats what I heard anyways) and I heard it. I checked underneath the car and didn't noticed any oil dripping or anything. i havent driven it since last night, don't want to potentially starve the engine from oil because my oil pan could be dented and ****ed the pickup line up.

stop considering and do it. from your post it doesn't seem like you can properly troubleshoot the car, so take it to a shop and stop driving it

Take it somewhere.. anyone else would have looked under the car and see what they did. If your not comfortable with that take it somewhere and be prepared to pay especially if it's anything ACD related.
