jeffnoel said:Your "assuming" he's got an aftermarket mechanical pressure gauge.
It won't do him any good to blow and the wire coming from the factory sender.
And since he says the gauge appears to work normally except when romped on that why I didn't say the gauge.
No, I am not assuming it is a mechanical guage, I know it is. It was my car 3 weeks ago!!jeffnoel said:Your "assuming" he's got an aftermarket mechanical pressure gauge.

Because I never assume anything. Why he did not contact me first I do not know. But contact has been made and we are going to wring it out.jeffnoel said:And I'm supposed to know that how!!! Wonder why he didn't contact you 1st directly????

Assumption is the mother of all **** ups!itsaMustangtoo said:Because I never assume anything.
itsaMustangtoo said:And you guys wanted him to drop the panWell I gotta run. Check engine light came on last night, so I am going to yank the motor out.
You are right on this point. It was the rubber seal. What Brian failed to tell us is that the problem started after the oil change. And that it was erratic between 40-60 psi ( read the gage wrong) yeah, seems the oil filter gasket stayed on the block , and when he put the new one on, the other one coiled up inside the new filter gasket and partially blocked the oil filter holes. I drove it home though and ALL is fine.Mstng2 said:You can say that because it was your car. Dont piss on us because were throwing out ideas, he had already replaced the oil filter.
ok...so I was driving the car ths past week and the oil presure would go up and down real erratic, so I got oil, and a filter and changed it (used 10w30) and it still does it.
Mechanical guages do not normally have issues unless they are leaking, he mentioned watching the guage and associated it with RPM...
idle it has like 20 psi and if I increase the RPM's slow it climbs to about 40 psi. If I nail it it drops way down below 20 psi then climbs up slowly.
That leaves one thing folks, and I hope I am wrong but, blockage somehwere, I'll tell you what, based on the original description there is still a problem...[/Q. UOTE]
No-NO-NO Just because it was and is my car does not mean anything. I am not pissing on anyone. I just do not think " dropping the pan " is a good idea to throw out there. Let me ask this, if you were to drop the pan ,with this problem ,what would you expect to see?? Exactly!! you don't know!! So why not take a diagnostic aproach first? I like to go in reverse. WHAT was the LAST thing I did before the problem. If for instance I rewired something, now the alt is not charging. I am not going to yank & replace the alt/regulator/batt/etc. ( which some people would do) I would go back and check the wiring. I am going to give credit where credit is due though. That leaves one thing folks, and I hope I am wrong but, blockage somehwere, I'll tell you what, based on the original description there is still a problem...
