so, I've got just about everything running good and I found a loose wire with a clip on it. its coming from the engine front plate I've got a pic but not sure if i know how to post it

heres what i need to know, wtf is it? is it important (car runs fine) Where does it go?

Car is a 1983 with a 12A Appears to be all stock

 

Looks like oil pressure sender unit wire but better pics of where it starts and... ends up in your ashtray? will help

 

he is saying "a-stray" not ashtray lol

that car is not stock, it has been rebuilt. You can tell becuase OEM the housings are not painted blue.

I second the oil level sensor, but I cannot tell 100% from those pics

 

its been rebuilt yes, but i mean stock as in not proformance modded.
so as long as i check my oil regularly I'm good?? I've been checking it every day before running engine. I cant find another loose plug so i don't think its there anymore.... I've found another loose wire, no pic yet but its green and had soder on the end of it its coming from below the rats nest. all gages seem to work on the dash. Oil pressure engine temp gas battery spedo tach. the secound pic is where its coming from

 

Ok after studying the third picture Im pretty sure its the oil level sender. You can block that off if you want, if the alarms goes off its already to late lol

You can find a block off plate at mazdatrix http://www.mazdatrix.com/boil1.htm

post pics of that other wire and we can help with that one too

 

Yes, that is the oil level sender. Looks like the wire on the oil temp sensor is also missing. (I think its the oil temp sensor)

 

Is the oil temp sensor important, I do seem to have an overheating issue. no I haven't let it actually overheat.

 

another pic. you can see where it plugs in what is it. the brown wire is my coolent level sender. the black one on the steering box is a mistary still.

 

still trying to figure this out. someone said somthing about an oil pressure sensor. well I noticed a new problem (as if i didn't have enough in the first place) and my oil pressure when the choke is on is 100psi once it's warmed up it goes back down to 40psi but when i'm driving it climbs back up. This is new and just started today I beleive. but it use to go 40 at idol to 60psi under load. I don't even have a clue on what or where to look

 

sounds typical. my gsl se does this as well. gonna put 20w50 in to see what the results will be.

if your oil pressure gets really low. you probably then have a problem

 

Strange, Mine is about 20 at idle and 85 at 4000+

 

i believe 85 would be a modded engine, the oil spring? usually doesn't allow that much under load. i believe it was 80.

 

no they just use it for the 49 state really cold start coolant injector thing. we don't have that sensor in CA

 

mines pretty close to the top of the gauge witch goes to 110psi it looks like its at a 100 psi I'm sure its not a modded engine. well its a little modded now. but the po was a chick who upgraded to a ******* prius of all things thats just wrong. but it was all stock when I bougt it well it did have an aftermarket carb and has been rebuilt as mention earlyer. but I beleave they paid for that

 

still having issues with this. can sombody post a pic of where this damb wire is suppose to go and i can try to figure it out from there. also my oil pressures now going over the 110 psi mark. it went normal for about 20 mins but then skyrocketed back up. any ideas? also the black wire on the sreering box is coming from the rats nest. where is this suposed to go?
