Had the engine been running recently? A good one won't leak down oil pressure right away.
|
engine is running regulary.
does not leak down oil presure. the gauge reads 5 before engine runs. thenn climbes to 7 on idle.. |
Does the oil pressure warning light come on at any time?
|
This is an electrical gremlin. Nothing to do with the actual engine.
|
no light coming on.
oil pressure is fine.. it is the electrics that causes problems. |
checking the instrument cluster is a p@&#+ in the b@#$.
the engineer who invented the system with the printed circuit under a layer of plastic,realy did NOT do us a favor. |
