today I noticed that I had no oil pressure. I have been driving my car, and it seems to be running fine. If there really was no oil pressure would i notice something? is it just my oil pressure gauge? I do have oil.


I need my car by tomorrow, if you could reply asap that would be great.

Thankyou

 

Check the wire on the sending unit. Make sure it is attached and has a no grease messing up the connection.

 

Yeah definitely check the sender... if you aren't sure where it is, its right underneath the oil filter, there is a sort of round bulbous thing sticking out. That is the sender. There is a wire with a sliding clip that clips onto the little connector on the side of the sender. The wire should be yellow with a red stripe but most likely its filthy and you won't be able to tell what color it was.

That connection needs to be clean, as project84 said, and tight. If, after checking that, you still have no oil pressure registering on your gauge, it is most likely the gauge's fault.

If your oil filter was not replaced in the last 1000-2000 miles then you could probably do with a new one of those too, while you're down there.

 

mine didnt work when i first got it then start working out of nowhere

 

if the engine is not getting oil would i know it was not? what i mean would it be running crapy

 

no oil pressure and you would know because your engine would not work anymore.

 

i wouldnt drive it if i were you, why take the chance of ruining your motor? find some rides to bum until you find out whats wrong.
