Twitching Oil Pressure Gauge
 

So, recently i have noticed that my oil pressure gauge twitches all the time. It looks like there is knock even at idle or cruise or boost or whenever. I have check the oil and the level is good. It is worse when the oil is warm and the pressure is lower. Any ideas? In the mean time i have my wastegate unhooked so i have very little boost.

Thanks in advance

wes man, i feel bad for u, every day i sign on, and u have a new problem

mine sits steady, only fluctuates with the throttle.

dont know what to tell ya, sending unit on its way out?

Haha, thanks for your sympathy. Luckily im pretty patient. I just try to take it one problem at a time and learn as i go without fucking anything up along the way. Hopefully, eventually, i can look back and say damn, i put a lot of work in to that car but it was so worth it.

Anyway, on topic, thats kind of what i was thinking, sending unit. Oh, i forgot to mention, it is a real analog OPG and sender that i bought from a guy on the forums, IDK how many miles it had on it.

I had the same problem a while back....got a used sending unit on e-bay for 9.99 (plus shipping) :jerkit: and it solved the problem...hope yours is as easy

well, i guess it is to the WTB section!

I found one on mnet for 50+shipping. Seems like a decent deal.

that happened to mine for a little, but someone suggested just to dust it off and clean the contact area some. it works fine. someone else also told me it could be a sign of a failing oil pump.

clean the contact area like, on the sender or on the back of the gauge? Failing oil pump would be gay.

very ghey, i wonder how hard it is to change?

It's crank-driven, good luck..:ughug:

soo, it seems to have smoothed out for the time being, maybe i accidentally fixed an electrical problem when messing with my wideband? I guess only time will tell.
