Oil Pressure Gauge
Hi All,
Im having problems with my oil pressure guage since day one (i got three other gauges and these work spot on)
Anyway, i start the car up and the gauge goes way up into the red, (will get exact reading later) when the car is on ignition it goes about 1/2 way
Now someone said change the earth and earth it to the engine, i did this and it stayed the same, i then earthed it directly to the battery and it was the same...
Now the pressure sender unit is touching the coolant tank, will this make it go wrong?
Im running outta ideas

What gauges have you got? I have just fitted my prosport ones to mine, and it sounds like you may have a faulty braided adaptor, or gauge as i cant see your engine actually running too much pressure
