Oil pressure gauge
My oil pressure gauge has been pegged out on 80 psi for a while now. I'm guessing it's the stepper motor or sending unit. Yesterday when going WOT I noticed the gauge goes to 0 or anywhere in between until I let off then it's back on 80 psi. Is this something to do with one of the above problems or something different. Thanks for any help. Brandon

Yep....mine went out and did a similar thing.
Definate sending unit. Easy to replace but a bitch to get to. They make a specilized socket for it so you may want to pick one up. Im not sure if a regular socket will work.

Have to have a special socket and you dont have to pull the manifold. if you've got the ugly *** engine cover you will maybe need to pull that. However, just go from one of the sides (driver's is closer). My arms/hands arent exactly huge, but definitely bigger than most full grown men and I could get it just fine.

Well thanks again guys for the input looks like my problem is the sending unit. Would a scantool give me a definite answer. Where should I get one at and what is the average prices on these things so I know what to look for. I know at a auto store. lol
