If you are trying to run a 1.9 engine then of course the oil alarm will go off until you do something about the fact that the 1.9 only has 1 oil switch while the oil warning system is expecting to see 2 switches. If that is what you are doing then it is an easy fix. No need to mess with the engine to fix it either. Mark TJ Hemrick wrote: > Well, all bets are off.
