Subject:oil pressure switches
From:Edward Maglott

Troubleshooting my dynamic oil pressure warning system on '86 2.1.  The
sensor on the left side by the pushrod tubes is acting wierd.  According to
Bentley, this is teh high pressure switch, supposed to close at 13 psi or
so.  Mine is closed with the engine off, opens when the engine starts and
never closes again as the engine revs up.  Is that at all normal, or is it
messed up inside?  The low pressure one by the pump is open when the engine
is off, and closes when it starts.

Anybody have a recipe for building there own cheap oil pressure gauge?

Thanks,
Edward
