My second guess would involve the wiring. Third would be the gauge itself. But my money's on the sending unit. I would get somebody to check your actual oil pressure from startup with a mechanical gauge just to make sure it's not accurately reporting a lubrication problem. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com ynotssor View Public Profile Find all posts by ynotssor Add ynotssor to Your Buddy List   #3   10-12-2006, 06:52 AM Sharon K.Cooke Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 496 oil gauge problems scrumpy99 wrote: Quote: i have a 99 ford ranger.when i start it the oil gauge won't registure anything until i rev it then it will bounce there is no knocking sounds and it is full of oil after running awhile 5 to 10 minutes it goes to normal.then the temp gauge goes up.so what is my problem The gauge isn't real. See: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...sure-gauge.html Check pressure output with a mechanical gauge, to make certain you have actual pressure. If you want to monitor actual oil pressure while driving, search some Mustang or Ford truck forums for the conversion instructions to a real OP gauge.
