Fuel pressure..

Alright,well ever since I bought my FD about 6 months ago,the stock fuel pressure gauge has not worked..However,recently,about 4 days ago maybe,when I drive,the red light on my fuel pressure gauge comes on..Does anybody know what this might mean?

Do you mean the stock fuel level gauge or the oil pressure gauge, because there is no fuel pressure gauge.

If you mean the stock fuel gauge, it's the low fuel light

Ok, the oil pressure sending unit is known to fail on these cars. Just buy a new one. As for the light, that's the low oil light.

Yeah,I read in a previous post that you were talking about the oil pressure sending unit failing..I know this subject is highly debated,but i'm not the best when it comes to working on my car so,which oil would you personally recommend for me to add?

The same thing the manual recommends, 10w30. If you plan to track the car (road course, not drag strip), then you might think about something heavier.

Have you been checking your oil level regularly, which is a part of owning these cars? Have you read the owner's manual?

You've been driving around with low oil for over 4 days!
