- Thread starter AJK
- Start date
So I got everything hooked up today, turned the starter with the EFI fuse out to get the oil circulating, and then fired it up. It idled nicely at about 1000 rpm, then the oil pressure light came on and I shut it down right away. Pretty much the deal is; if I turn it over for about 15 second, then start it, the engine is fine for about five seconds and then the oil pressure light comes on and it dies out or gets turned off by me. If I don't turn it over it starts and sounds like a mess with the oil pressure light on, then dies. Any advice? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Does it run rough and then the oil pressure light come on? If the idle drops real low, the pump wont be spinning fast enough to create enough pressure to switch the oil pressure switch. If the oil pressure light comes on and then it runs rough that is another story!
I feel your pain! I have a 89 that I put a new engine in (JDM) and after fixing a bunch of issues (took me almost a year to fix them all) I find out that it had a BHG! So back in November 2008 (in between jobs at the time) I had the head redone and replaced the head gasket. It ran great for about 10 months an then another BFG! (Grrr) So now it has been sitting for another 10 months and I'm getting ready to replace the Head Gasket again!
Good luck and hang in there!
Good luck and hang in there!
wow that suxs did you remove the pan to see if any crap is in there to clog up the pick up for the oil pump
Install a mechanical oil psi guage to make sure you're getting pressure or loosing pressure....something may not be grounded correctly or whatever causing that oil psi warning.
