Hi
Hope this is the right forum, so just wiring my dash and checking gauges, I am using ETB gauges and senders, just testing the all important oil pressure, I am cranking the engine plug less and no ignition, no reading on the gauge. So far I have
1) Checked the gauge rises with an open circuit which it does
2) Bypass the loom and connect direct to the gauge no difference, checked all earths all good.
3) Taken the gauge out and blown into it with a air line, did get a slight resistance change when I did that
4) When I remove the sensor there is quite a build up of oil and pressure in the line so I am sure the pump is pumping
5) My sensor has a warning light connector which earths when the pressure drops below 7 psi and I connected a lamp to that and it lights and dims when I cranking again indicating pressure, does not go out fully though about half dim so maybe 4 psi or so?
I don't have a manual gauge but could get one to test, really I guess I am asking what sort of pressure should a 331 give on a crank stroke, will it show on the gauge, sensor is a 0 to 6 bar, gauge is
I have emailed ETB but not heard back, could be a duff sensor?
Cheers all
