Goodmorning all!!

Starting the day telling you about my night

Soldered all power wires together for gauges, as well as all grounds, so i just connect 2 wires

Installed both sensors in the sammich plate for oil temp and pressure and combined their grounds as well.

Ran wires from sensors to gauges

Problems:

Oil pressure pings straight over to max as if it is not grounded but it is

Oil temp goes immediately to 240 and to 300 as the car warms. If I hit the gas, it drops back to 240

Any advice or help? Could I have just crossed the wires using the temp as the oil pressure now? It doesn't climb to 240, it goes straight there on startup

And, I didn't get the header swapped cause I can't find my bolts for the springs bolts or the brace for the precat. So, i gotta go to the hardware store to pickem up

i thought you were getting water temp?

 

[mx-p5]

i did. I just havn't installed the sensor for that one yet. I was getting frustrated enough with the "simple" oil setup.

 

[aMaff]

how many gauges are you using dude?! Oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, and when you go turbo? Boost, AFR and EGT? lol I've seen full blown race cars with fewer guages...

 

[mx-p5]

But, was it a full blown street slotege??

Little vid of da gauges

 

[shane02pro5]

Looks good...maybe your ground isn't strong enough for all those circuits or wires crossed??

 

[mx-p5]

No wires crossed and also ran a seperate wire straight from the battery ground and it didn't change.

Someone suggested that I may have the gauges plugged into the wrong connector. Gonna try switching the plugs later tonight
