4x4_Welder Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Did you make sure the sending unit wire is still plugged together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niku-Sama Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 yep it was still plugged in after the guage dropped. the plastic thing in the middle is loose too...just checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Its pretty normal for the oil pressure to read zero at idle. Its even mentioned in the owners manual. Good job, Niku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niku-Sama Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 yea that was interesting, solder that stuff man. well everythings hooked up. i'll grab a pressure guage and screw it into where the sending unit goes and see what it says. if it still says 0 psi i think i know what happened and i am gonna have to take it all apart again to get the pump off. i cant remember if when i had the pump off and i changed the seal on the shaft if it stuck it in the vice (ina towel to not score) and tightened it down real good. if i didnt then it probally loosened up and i dont think i can tighten it with out taking the pump off, or if thats even a good idea. but we'll see, i am kinda 70/30 that i did tighten it. it should be that it couldnt take the pressure because it climbed up pretty high when it was cold, something it didnt do for a long time and it was leaking at the time too and now its no. the way i see it is its a 3 way tie between sending unit / pump shaft not turning / unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niku-Sama Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 fixed, the new ammount of oil pressure combined with out having air in it killed the sending unit i guess. went to PAP $5 for 2 units and it works again. and i have a spare! it'll go in my trunk box. i thought i herd some more rattling so i looked under there and i found an exhaust leak on the manif....pipe thingy a new gasket on it where it mounts to the head and it should be alot quieter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
