oil pressure gauge or other
Problem just stated today. At idle oil pressure gauge is normal around 30-35. When driving it goes all the way to the top and then will drop some down. Down to normal again at idle. Oil level is fine.
Is there a problem with the stock gauge or should I be looking at something else? |
sounds like a problem with the gauge. if your oil pressure was that high, you would be blowing something out. a seal or a gasket at least.

I think so. Was just out in it and it was normal for awhile. 30-35 at idle and up to about 65 at 3k. Then it pegged again. Then back to normal.
Anyone seen this and knows how to fix or what to look for first? |
Good chance its the sensor. I dropped mine once, and after re-installing, it had the same symptoms you are describing.
|
Id put my money on the sending unit as well. The stock gauges arent very accurate as is, but Ive seen a lot of senders die in my experiance. I would go with the sending unit. Grab another from the junk yard and try that one, otherwise its a good $60 for a new one. Good luck :)
