I was following a thread not long ago about the low oil pressure light coming on while driving and yet pressure ok. I have had this for the past couple of years and anyone help me with the result of the recent discussion. It usually comes on after the car is warmed up and after I drive high rpm and than on an exit ramp or local road off the interstate. I can reset it if I hit the throttle real quick and than is ok until I go thru the gears and running at the lower rpm. For instance my commute home - Interstate 40 miles no problem, get on exit ramp and LED flashing buzzer buzzing than as I exit the toll barrier and pull up to the usually red traffic light I rev it real quick than idle and all is off. I than head on local road and after I get up to 4th in a 40mph it will again indicate panic mode, push clutch in rev quickly and than drive a shot distance and again panic alerts.
Long time ago I checked the pressure with a temporary gauge and is was ok, I couldn't find my figures, and replaced both sensors (head and filter) but still happening. See I just replaced my exhaust after years of patching it up and now it is so quiet inside (well as good as it gets) the buzzer is louder than I remembered and really is not a good thing to let my car cry wolf everyday as I have over 300K on it and I should monitor it closer.
Also anyone have a list of the relays? I have a box full of spares but have gotten my diesel relays now mixed with my gasser spares and noticed most have a 2 digit number on the top of the cover facing out of the fuse/relay panel. I would like to sort them out and carry the critical spares with me.
Thanks in advance - Terry
