My Oil Gauge is Max’d out before the Car starts And remains there. I was thinking it was the Oil Switch. Not to sure though.
Any thoughts?

 

If it does it when you put the car in the on position then gauge or sender, maybe wiring. If it's stuck there car on or off.. gauge would be my guess.

 

Its Only Stuck when On Or Startid, It seems to Go down when the Wire Is removed from the Sender

 

the gauge is probably reading the wrong resistance. I'd trace teh wiring, make sure that there are no breaks or anything.

 

will do, It got that way after i Some how Flooded the RX.
After getting it startid again. it never came down.
But ill go check it.

 

Probably the condensor is disconnected or the wire to it is grounded.

Did you do any clutch or trannsmission work recently?

 

Or the sender could be FUBARed.

 

even if the sender is fubar'd if the condensor is hooked up, it prevents that problem

 

ermm well it did this befor i did the Tranny Work. but i did put in a New clutch and Trans.
Ive been Outside as well Looking over the Wire. it seemd alittle Dirty. but nothing to Say its Damaged

 

is the condensor hooked up and grounded? (normally grounded too or near the clutch slave cyl)

 

you mean the Thingy with the Sideways connector?
Or is it that thing that Has the Vac lines on it with the 2 wires..?

 

No, it is a small black box (1"x1"x.25") , with a single wire coming off of it, and a metal mounting tab on the other side.

It is mounted on or near the clutch slave. It is the condensor for the oil pressure sender.

 

lemme look

 

Ah, ok, good to know.
Also, the thing with the sideways connector is the oil pressure sender itself, not the condensor.

 

then i Am Unable to Locate the Condensor.
the only other thing i could see *Its dark out and my Light sucks*
Is a like sigle Wire Comming out next to the Sender (probly Oil temp?)
But i cannot Locate it.
got a Pic of it by chance?

 

 

I do Not beleave I have One :/.... this is a Bad thing i take it?
Or i do and its Dangling somwhere <.<

 

It should be mounted to the slave cylinder or to something metal near the slave cyl.

without it, the oil pressure gauge will fail and not work correctly

Its common for someone that does know these cars to remove it when they do a clutch or tranny job and forget to hook it back up.

 

hmmm where does that wire Trace offto?
Maby i can Try finding it that way.
But That may be a good reason.
*pets the hary Arm*

 

It taps into the oil pressure sensor wire (Yellow/red as I recall) in the front harness.

and not my arm... I simply did a search for pictures of the condensor... only about 30 threads on it, I just grabbed the first three pictures I found.

 

LOL ok.
.... so Basicly I need to Just trace them all down and make sure its Grounded?
and what is Fubard? or um yeah... just wondering

 

Fubar= Fucked Up Beyond Reconnition

and only the tab part of teh condensor gets grounded

 

OOoooOooo Coolness

 

Icemark..that Condensor Thingie..It goes From the Clutch Slave to the Firewall..there is a tab there to Connect it.I Remember Hooking that In When I Did My Clutch...I Honestly think It's another Wire He has to Look for.That Would be the SENDING wire for the Oil Gauge.And the Sender could be Screwed TOO.Another thing is He SAID "he flooded it recently"..I Would be Checking the OIL..TO Make Sure That the Oil Doesn't SMELL like GAS,and if the Oil Level Isn't Somehow HIGH because he could have pumped some Gas past the Rotors and into the OIL.

 

No, it generally is mounted to the clutch slave, and the wire goes into the main front harness.

I think you are confusing the tranny ground which goes from the back of the block/tranny to the firewall, where there is a tab on the fire wall for it/

I wouldn't doubt that the sender is screwed. It gets screwed from the condensor not being hooked up.

Anytime a rotary engine is flooded the oil should be changed... is that not common practice???
