ok im obviously getting good oil pressure. that and the fact that my oil pump is fully refurbished.
the problem is that the needle on the std oil pressure gauge only works when it feels like it.!
sometimes its fine - when i turn the ignition on it flicks up as it should, then when i fire the car up the needle moves in relation to how many rpm's the engines running at. ok that how it should work all the time.
when its playing up - i turn the ignition and sometimes it flicks up and sometimes it doesnt, the when i fire the car up the needle either flops right back down to the engine off postion or flicks up and down now and again..!
is this a fault with the actual dash gauge or would the problem be with the oil pressure sensor.?
also to save any mix up im assuming the oil pressure sensor is the round thing at the Base of the turbo oil feed pipe yes.? (why does this have 2 spade connectors sticking out of it?1wide 1 thin,when i only have the 1 spade connector coming off the engine loom?does it matter which spade i connect to?)
also what is the other sensor that screwed into side off the turbo oil feed just below the bolt that secures the turbo oil feed pipe to the block.?
ive noticed that there are 2 different types of turbo oil feed base pipes! one comes with the sensor that you screw into the side just under the bolt securing it to the engine block. and one comes blank with no sensor.
these fecking annoying little probs left to do are doing my nut in:brickwall:
