Hi Guys.

Just been Installing some SWOOSH gauages.

Oil TEMP Works a Treat taken from the Sandwich Plate

Boost - Works fine

Oil Pressure isnt working.

I took this from the top of the Engine (under altinator) Undid the oil pressure switch and fitted the sender in there, The Needle goes to 120PSI as soon as you turn the igns on. As soon as you start it just stays there and doesnt go down. Has any oen got any ideas, ive cheked the wires

Having the issue with my Pro sport gauge, it moves between 120/140 with the ign on/with/without sender. I'm guessing our gauges are at fault.

Is it a stepper motor type gauge.

Yes it is mate. I want sure if it was the Sender its self

Make sure the oil pressure sender has a good earth ie from the engine or even battery to the body of the sensor solder on if poss or tape on ,if you have used ptfe tape to seal the fitting it will stop the earthing to the sensor. This will cause the symtons you describe,had the same problem my self !

On my Sender its only got one Wire option.... Thats the one that goes onto the back of the gauage.... should i earth it some how??


liek this one

ian10

earth to the body of the unit !
is does have only one connection thats right, as it should earth through the thread which srcews into the block,sometimes they don't make a sound enough connection.

as above, had same prob with mine, must earth it as it works by measuring the resistance to earth.

the earth was the problem Due to extending the pipe with a flexi it wasnt earthed at all, soldered a wire on and wahooo it works


Cheers Guys
