Re: Fw: oil pressure

["tmpintnl" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Bob - It is more than likely a bad sending unit. I damaged mine 
during an oil filter change, and it "pegs" with the engine running. I 
know that my pressures are correct. There are several replacement 
senders that are advertised as being "more accurate" than the original 
sender. Most vendors have them available. The sending unit for the 
gauge is next to the oil filter. The sending unit for the idiot light 
is on the opposite side, just behind the A/C compressor. If the idiot 
light is functional, it *should* show a real problem if you have one.

and I have changed the oil regularly. When I first got the car I 
warmed it up then changed the oil. Then I ran it 100 miles and 
changed it again. It seems to be flowing through the engine alright 
but it worries me. Could it just be a bad sensor? Bob
