Re: Oil pressure driving me crazy

Yea I may pick up the accessories for the manual gauge I have today.

It was smooth running after I got it all back together. I have an idea that while I was driving, and the oil pressure dropped the lack of fuel flow confused the computer.

Am I thinking of this right? The fuel pump runs in with the oil pressure switch . When the oil pressure drops, the computer starts to kill the fuel pump. When I rev it, it brings the oil pressure back up. I'm thinking the inconsistent pressure gives the computer to much to keep up with?
