I decided to disconnect the leads from the oil pressure sender altogether to see how the dash would react. It didn't do as I would have expected.
When the car is started the oil pressure low idiot light is now off and the oil pressure still sits at 1 bar motor off or started. And all of the other lights on the dash are now off.
From what I understood disconnecting the leads should have pegged the gauge at 5 and turned on the low pressure idiot light. Am I right about this?
So I am thinking there is a problem in my cluster.
BUT THEN
So I decided to take the oil filter off and the filter is completely empty not a single drip came off it when I took it off so whatever may be wrong with my cluster there is definitely no oil pressure. Looks like no oil has passed through it since my oil change. So we are not talking low oil presser as much as NO oil pressure.
Several people have mentioned that if the OPRV goes in without resistance it is unlikely that oil cooler alignment it the problem. Is it worth purchasing the tool to eliminate this as my problem. Every time I order something it ends out costing me $40 in shipping so a $55 tool costs me $100.
I am thinking I am at the point of pulling the oil pan. Any opinions from the experts?
Thanks
Mark
