Subject: Why Would An Oil Pressure Sending Unit Fail In Less Than A Year? by j3studio on 2011/2/20 16:34:40 [1985, 68k miles, very stock] Why would an oil pressure sending unit fail in less than a year? The sending unit was replaced last March. When it was replaced, it read these (good) values: 50 lbs. cold idle 30 lbs. warm idle 50 lbs. warm 1,200 r.p.m. The new sending unit has now failed (I noticed it in November) and mostly reads 80 lbs. (the upper limit of the LCD read-out). This is exactly the same failure pattern of the previous sending unit. Does anybody have any idea what could be going on besides simple bad luck? |
