I read a couple places that if the wires were accidentally switched, the oil guage would peg at max? I am definitely getting oil pressure, and the wires were not touched. I suspect the sender is toast and its such a pain to get in there, I'm going to arrive with a new one and just replace it. Oil pressure is pretty critical and on a 34yo vehicle I think its wise money.

Just removing the sensor is not to much of a pain, its tight in there but it is do able without removing any thing else...Now hopefully the new sender fix the problem and you do not have to remove the OPRV i took mines off to replace the oil cooler gasket i had to remove the exhaust headers and i alread had the power steering pump disconnected and i was able to drop it from the bottom.

Since your earlier posts mentioned locking the crankshaft and replacing the front oil pump seal, I am going to suggest that the front crankshaft bolt has loosened and is no longer driving the oil pump gear.
The torque is 155 lb.ft.

I was very meticulous about the pulley, oil gear and correct torque on the pulley bolt. I will double check the torque and orientation.
So what is the scoop with the Oil Pressure Relief Valve? Was it merely leaking, or did you put in a new spring or part? Thanks. Doug

Someone had a post a couple of weeks ago about no oil pressure after doing some front engine work turns out there a washer he put on the wrong way in the crankshaft.
I don’t know if it was leaking I just wanted to replace the oil cooler gasket because it only $30 and I don’t knows the history’s of the car and I was arlready doing belts and other work around it. If you do take the OPRV make sure you get the correct alignment tool. |
