Hi everyone;
After changing the clutch (and a few other things) on the 90Q, I took
the car on the road for a test drive. It gives me a loud beep and a
flashing oil pressure symbol every time I exceed 2800 rpm or so. The
light stays on as long as I keep it above 2800, disappears only if the
engine slows down.
My understanding is that there is a low and a high pressure sensor on
the car, but looking at the engine block I only see one, brown. Is
the pressure sender (the big barrel) acting as the high pressure
sensor? It's disconnected right now, actually the terminals broke off
due to rust, awaits fixing.
I would greatly appreciate some sort of reassurance that it's the
sensor, rather than actual low oil pressure!
Thanks!
