60034, My oil pressure gauge doesn't move.....
Posted by CrashedMax, Nov-03-03 06:18 AM
I purchased my car with a Hahn turbo kit w/boost & oil pressure gauges already installed (Autometer Phantom). I never really paid to much attention to the oil pressure gauge since it's been consistent since I got the car (about 30psi, a little higher on warm days). I was just reading posts on the TWSB section and noticed that my oil pressure should be going up as I accelerate, well mine stays at the same pressure then entire time. Is my gauge hooked up wrong or something?

find out where the gauge is installed to, then come back and tell us where it is. it should go up when youre under load.

I'll have to wait a few days before I go digging around searching for where the wires are routed, if there are certain places in the engine bay that I can look quick to see if the sender is there let me know. I have class the next 3 days so the only time I have to check it out is during my lunch hours at work. I hope my engine doesn't blow from not enough oil pressure :-(
