I would be very cautious. You oil pump may be going out. It may not be delivering enough pressure turning the light on. Not a problem I would be dricing around with.

Id say its just the sending unit. BUT I think that there is 2 senders, one for the light and one for the guage..


You are correct sir. So if it is the sending units its got to be both at the same time, which is less likely then your pump going out. I would say get your pump checked ASAP.

Thanks guys for the replies. I found out why my unit is not working right. The guys who had the car before me had wired the two wires backward. I stop by QPR and talk to the guys. They metion that if the if the wire in the front oil sending unit gets unplug the light will go out. I had mention to them that on my car it was opposite. If I have removed the wire of the back sending unit my light will go out(the one closest to the driver). So I came home and reverse the wires and my oil pressure light is gone and the guage moves up about a 1/4 of the way. Can you say I am a happy DSM guy and can drive my car more. Once again guys thanks for the help. :toast:
