its AUTOGAUGE OIL PRESSURE go to post #12 please lol

 

Recently purchased the full set of gauges from pros sport incl the oil temp but not yet installed any of them yet, was going to let the specialist do it as I'm **** with stuff like that and would prob make a mess of it. Hope you get it sorted.

 

Yeah that might be the way fwd...the previous owner said it was always like that but never bothered him!

 

fault or incorrectly installed the temp rises gradually as engine warms up.
normal driving doesnt affect it at all.
it shouldnt fluctuate at all.

 

Am gonna do a vid l8r lol No im not iv took the crank pulley off lol and its PRESSURE gauge btw if any one can help

 

oil presssure gauge sits around 7 when ticking over first thing then settles to 2-3

when u rev it should go up as ure increasing the oil pressure in the car,and when u come of the accelerator is should drop back down to the above numbers

 

Yeah that sound about right.... its bouncing of the highest number constantly and noiseyly lol when I source a crank pulley il do a vid il bet it now wired properly...there should be a sensor on cyl 3 is that right?

 

Hi

The sensor for oil temp is on cylinder 3 the pressure is taken from the original oil pressure sensor switch below the alternator!!

I hope that make a bit more sense

 

cheers for that I checked there yesterday,but couldnt find 1, should it be on/ near the 24mm plastic nut with a spade on top of it?? cheers

 

on my prosport gauges the oil pressure is under the alternator where the original oil pressure sender for the engine goes.
the oil temperature is on the left hand side of the intercooler. it is quite far down and hard to see it has two wires coming off mine as said before the sender replaces a blanking plug on top of cylinder 3.
if you need some pics let me know and ill post them up later

 

Cheers mate but I think iv sorted it! cant put pics up on ps3 but basically mine was wired to a sandwich plate, when I took the cover off the wire just fell to the floor! lol So anyway ran a new wire to the sender unit from the gauge, cant check it yet tho cos my engines ib bits lol

 

Ok so Ive put my engine back together and......its still not working all the wires have connected property now, it just sits at about 120-130 PSI doesnt move at all was idleing for about 15 mins and it didnt move once, could it be the sender thats plugged into the sandwich plate, I know under the alt is better but this is what was already on it, dont want to get a new sender in case the gauge is bolloxd ? any suggestions?
