Greetings,
I own a '00 GT 'Vert.
When the car is cold, and I start the engine, I get no oil pressure from the gauge until the engine reaches normal temp. (warms up)
After about 2 mins, the oil pressure gauge will go from zero to mid range for a few seconds, then drop down to zero (far left reading) then back to mid range.
This goes back and forth until the engine is warmed up. (after about 5 minutes)
Once the engine is warmed up, if I turn the ignition off and restart the car, the oil pressure is fine. (at mid range)
I checked the amount oil the engine has, and it is fine.
No mods have been made on my car other than an K&N air filter.
I get no "Idiot Lights" when this is happening. All other gauges seem to be OK.
Faulty gauge? Bad voltage regulation to the gauge? Oil pump going?
Any ideas come to mind? Has this happened before to any of you?
Thanks in advance,
StangVert00
