Oil pressure gauge sticking

[dmanmccann]

For a few weeks now my oil pressure gauge has been sticking, causing my Check gauge light to come on. It happens on cold mornings here and after about 5 minutes itll flick back to where its supposed to be..

Well sometimes it flicks to normal then to the OFF positon and back and forth until I GUESS it warms up or something?? I dunno

I am wanting to just put in an accurate gauge, along with a transmission temp gauge too..any help?

If there is no noise then your prblably not low on oil pressure (it would be loud if you had no pressure)

The sending unit is easy to change (single wire)..

if your looking at buying gauges (so you have accurate ones) I've bought a few from egauges.com (3 so far)..

I personally like the ISSPRO 270 degree sweep electric gauges..

I would say the problem is the oil pressure sending unit (switch). Change it,
and that should solve your problem.
