wow, thanks brandini thats a butt load of useful info. very much appreciated.

now all i need is what pressure is at idle/ full warm.

today goin to work sittin at a drive thru after driving for twenty minutes the gauge started flashing and pressure was at 5 psi. this was a first though it usually only sits at 6-10 psi during idle/full warm. not sure it this is right.

everything is hooked up right and nothings leaking, not losin oil, car runs fine, etc.....

also while i'm here, my o.press gauge is the last to light up. even though i have the power goin to boost, then pressure, then temp, the boost and temp always light up first then the pressure gauge. what gives?

oh, these are prosport premium btw!

I don't believe the DH can read oil press. on our cars. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I'd love to be able to watch it.

Pressure at idle is supposed to be that low since there is no load you're fine with little oil pressure.

Just stay above the 10psi per 1000rpm and you'll be fine.

ah, i was unaware. but now that i think about it. i think i read that somewhere too.

noted thank you.

any ideas on why the oil pressure is the last gauge to start. i rather them all be in sync if possible.

 

[brandini]

You're just lucky. I'd email them and see if they can switch it out for another one. It's probably just a slightly out of spec electrical component in the guts.

its funny you say that cuz i already shipped the first one back cuz it didnt work at all.

i'm ol call em tommorow.
