DaveT Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 About 20 minutes into a 90 minute trip today, cruising on the highway at 65 MPH / 4000RPM. I glance at the gauges occasionally, and see the oil pressure near zero.... Like where it sits at idle. Initially alarmed, but wait - it's not clicking, running fine.. This continues to not change. Gauge must be lying. Later, I'm off the highway, 45 or so, and now the oil pressure reads normal. The trip home, worked normally. Guess I have a bad connection or flaky gauge or sender.

YnotDIY Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 mine has been out since I bought the car. I have a spare gauge cluster, but I'm hesitant to throw it in. If it's a short somewhere i dont want this fresh one to get toasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 A short would make it read very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
