I installed my autometer oil press gauge, and I hooked it up to the sender. It reads 100 psi at idle, then goes down to 70-50 psi when I drive. This is clearly some nagger business. I thought I switched the wires, and I put them the other way...it would read 10000psi and go slightly lower at higher rpms. SO I switched back. What can be wrong with the sumbitch?

gauge if fuxored.

I don't remember who I bought it from on here, btu soemthing tells me that would'nt help.

BoosTedZSix

probably wouldnt, was it used? if so i'd say you got ripped off. Check your connections again.

USed gague, brand new sender. What connection error could lead to this? It lights up, moves to 0 when turned off, moves to 100 when turned on, etc.

i have no idea, but it seems like the right thing to do. :P

Went through everything, still shows like 100 psi at idle, 60 psi or so cruising in gear. The 60 psi seems resoanble, but I guess somehting is wrong with it. How much psi should my poor turbo be subjected to? After the sensor, I am running 4an lines, like the old stealthmode kits. Should not be a problem, right?

if your return line is okay. i dont see any reason to need a restrictor. if its not smoking now you'll be ok! 60 seems about right for crusing. 100 at idle is definatly incorrect. although 60 seems high for an ls

Yea, Ill live with it though. At least I'll be able to tell something is wrong if it ever dips below 50psi. :P

is the sender the same brand as the gauge?
