another oil pressure question
 
:) So since the biggening of the summer I have noticed that when my radiator fans come on my oil pressure drops below 1bar causing the oil light to come on when im at idle, if I rev up the engine then Im fine. this only happens when I have been drive the car in hot weather for approx 30mins, Is there some kinda sensor that is bad or is something wrong?? The car idles fine approx 900rpm. I think the fans are making the idle drop and causing low oil pressure. Whats the fix??

:D

had the same problem with my IROC - it was a bad sensor. Also had the same problem with a friends car and we changed the oil and used a heavier oil (I think for memory we used Valvoline Race 50) - the heavier oil in a worn engine was much better for the old oil pressure! Have a look at your sensor and see if it leaking!

What sensor should I be looking for and where is it located??

As far as I know it doesnt but it must a little, why would the oil pressure drop?? I will pay more attention to the RPMs next time, Do you think the dual fans are drawing enought current to screw with the idle, or should I start messing with idle controles
