high oil pressure maybe gauge HELP!!!
 

ok so i noticed teh oil pressure gauge at 110 when at idle maybe even higher when driving so one what could cause this and two how do you install a new gauge (autometer probly)

First you need to perform a oil pressure test asap, if your pressure is at tha
t, which is unlikely you are going to have major engine problems, most common failure is sending unit. rx7doctor

ok????????well..........is there somthing they sell for my to do my own test or does any shop do a test

You can pick upa oil pressure test kit at any auto parts store just get the correct adapter.
doctorrage can do this to. One question, did you just change oil? rx7doctor

no i need to....im coming up for the time to could this happen when u dont have enouph oil so its running high

Nope, but can happen with a defective filter. I really need to check my spelling before i hit enter. On the last post icame up with a new word,doctorrage,? You think i was drinking or something, maybe i should be. It was supposed to say at any garage. rx7doctor

hahaha i know i saw that.....it should be a word though i thought i learned somthing new...llike give it some doctor-age by pampering it

how do you install a autometer gauge i need to do it before sunday

or what kind do i need

Did you verify if the oil pressure reading was correct or incorrect. rx7doctor

nope i havent gone to buy a kit yet but is the gauge measuerd in teh oil pan becuase thats how most are or is the guage wired differently??

wait wait the high oil pressure what would be semptoms if the pressure was high??wouldnt the car act up when driven???

Before you mucking about tapping the oil lines and such to install a guage. Check the wires going to your oil sending unit, the fuses for your guages, the conditon (color) of your oil, and the oil filter.

I'm not sure if its a no-current or a short, but the guages peg high if there is a problem with the sender. Check for pinched wires, loose connections etc.

Some aftermarket guages use a sender, others use a direct tap into an oil line with pressure. From what I hear, the Mazda guage and sender is fairly accurate so it may be better to replace with OEM parts than to use aftermarket ones.

Your sending unit is located on the left side of engine block, this is seen as sitting in the drivers seat. It is below the oil filter about 6 inches below and looks like a big bell. rx7doctor

i cleaned the connector and that gold bell thing but still nothing happened
