[QUOTE="90FoX, post: 14988171, member: 87312"] Hello, I was hoping y'all could help me figure out what's happening with my oil pressure gauge please? I was at the light the other day when I noticed the gauge moving around. It was only doing this at idle. Here's a link to the video I was able to capture: [url]https://vimeo.com/137334318[/url] From my research, this gauge is either on or off and doesn't actually provide any real readings other than there is more than 6psi of oil pressure. Does this movement seem normal? I thought since it's on or off it should hold steady. Maybe my oil pressure sensor(sending unit) is going bad and cutting in and out? The gauge held steady with any amount of throttle. I hooked up a mechanical test gauge and with a cold start up at idle it showed 90-95psi of oil pressure. Once warm, idling for 15+ minutes, it was showing 22-26psi at idle. When rev'd and held at 1500rpm it was showing 35+psi. Is this normal? I searched and searched and can't find any specs for oil pressure at idle. I did see something about 20-45psi at 1500 warm is normal. I'm unsure if this is accurate or not. Is there a way to test the sending unit? Or should I just replace it since I'm down there already? Maybe this is nothing to worry about? Any help is appreciated! Thank you. :beer: FoX [/QUOTE]
