have you checked your oil lately ? wink.gif

also, a common thing is that sometimes the fitting will leak if not taped properly and you could be leaking oil, causing a drop in pressure.


Yes the oil level is fine, and i checked the sensor and adaptor for leakes and I didnt get any. But in the instructions it told me not to tape it because it gets a ground from the engine block so i didnt, should I do it anyway?


I thought that was what the black wire coming from the gauge was for?

yeah it is, to ground the gauge, but i think the sender needs a ground from the block, I dunno i could be wrong.. thats where you guys come in wink.gif keep in mind too that they are digital so maybe thats why the wiring may be a lil diff?

The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?
