ajohnson928 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I took the old girl out to get a yard stuff since it was a nice day. At a light on the way home I noticed that the oil gauge was pegged over 80. But when I took off again it started working fine again. This continued all the way home. It was getting dark so I did zero inspection or checking but I wanted to see what you all thought. I'll post an answer to the issue once I get it figured out for sure.

92tanMJ Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 That's how mine was its your oil pressure sender...its by the oil filter. I don't think mine is in this exact location but its close enough for you to get the idea of its location/ look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajohnson928 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks. I just replaced the thing last year but I suppose it could be defective. I'll look into it one night this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think I went through 4 or 5 senders in a couple years for the same problem. I finally gave up and have a non working gauge now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajohnson928 Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Update: It never did it again. It must have been a gremlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Update: It never did it again. It must have been a gremlin. Unplug it. Spray out the connector with BrakeKleen, and put a little squeeze on the female connector. Plug it back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
