ManicMechanic Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Oil pressure sensor if you have an idiot light Oil pressure sending unit if you have a gauge Quote
meltboy1 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 ok cool, that didn't work anyway...lol Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 That plug has nothing to do with the oil. Not a rectangular 4 wire plug. oil pressure for the gauge is 4 wire, but its not rectangular. the oil pressure for the light is a single wire. check the compressor. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 But Jay...He was asking about the sensor, not the plug. Quote
meltboy1 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 lol well it didnt work before it broke, it actually physically broke like that in my efforts to remove the tranny and other crap... lol and yes I was talking about the sensor that screws to the block, not the random wires that just happened to hop in for a photo op Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Yes, that would be the oil pressure sending unit. I replaced it with a new unit last January IIRC. Quote
meltboy1 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Posted March 8, 2009 ya, but it still didn't work...lol I think I remember you telling me that it may have grounded out somewhere, cuz it was always pegged... lol Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 8, 2009 Report Posted March 8, 2009 Yeah the pressure gauge was always pegged out when I had it, so I plugged in my spare cluster with it idling and it pegged out the known good cluster as well.. Then I decided to buy a new pressure sender, popped it in, and voila it didn't do a thing! Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 How many miles on the ol girl now? Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Glad to hear it I sure miss that car. Quote
meltboy1 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 ya, well hopefully I can get it running again soon in the next week or so and get to 300... but the whole tranny thing is really kicking my ass at the moment. Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Damn right! Hope all goes well for ya, you'll get it figured out Quote
meltboy1 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 ya, if I have to buy another pressure plate ima be pissed... .>< Quote
Hairdo12 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 It was pegged probably because it was the wrong sensor. Probably had a switch in there and not the sending unit. The idiot light switch is short and the sensor one is longer... looking at the picture, the one in there is very short so that is what I would expect has been the problem. Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Nope, the stock sensor didn't work, and I replaced it with TWO different units, the gauge never worked. I'm thinking there is a bad ground somewhere. Quote
meltboy1 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Posted March 9, 2009 well I will have a chance to inspect all the wires, cuz since I gota pull the tranny AGAIN, I am pullin everything through the top this time, way too much of a PITA to pull it from the side... Quote
Lumineer Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 245kish miles is pretty good. Keep it climbing!! My oil pressure sending unit is bad, I think. The oil pressure usually reads really high, and when it's cold, the guage just dances around, lol. If redlined, the oil pressure pegs around 100 or more PSI. Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Bad ground? Hmm. That sucks, I wish I had a gauge in the GTP like the Z34. Quote
