problem with low coolant and oil lights
Just finished installing Atkens rebuild in a 93 RX with a greddy single conversion. I have 60 lbs oil pressure at Idle and 120 when reved. I cannot figure out how to stop low coolant and low oil lights to shut off. Both systems seem to be ok. I was wondering if anyone can help me out. The rats nest is completly gone from whoever worked on this car before. If anyone can tell me wire colors for both sensors and what I need to do to solve this I would be forever gratefull!!

Not sure if you're just saying only the lights. Usually it's also the buzzer. If this is the case:
Besides the p/s pump, there is a white connector coming from the oil pan. This must be connected to its white mating connector. Another black connector of the same size and shape coming from the wiring harness of the battery must also be connected to its black mate. Make sure the low coolant connector near the filler neck/airpump is also connected.
I connected the white to the black and the black to the white and my low coolant buzzer wouldn't go off until a tech at Pineapple Racing told me to double check it. It worked for me.

Thanks for te response! The wire is completly gone off the oil pan sensore will replace with a spare tommorow. I have all wires ( I think) connected on filler neck. The air pump is gone as the big turbo on this thing or beast I inhereted to wok on came without. Is there any way to trick these 2 sensors to shut off the lights as the apexi SP? controller tells all about coolant temp and the aftermarket oil guage lets me know all seems good? This is a project someone else started and I am just trying to clean up. Thanks for all help
