P.O. installed Autometer 5727, short sweep electric Oil Pressure guage, 0-100 PSI. Had car for 1 yr and guage always worked good, typ reads 50-75 psi.
I just finished differential install. In order to reach the parts, I drained oil and removed oil filter and oil pressure sending unit.
On first test drive I noticed oil pressure guage was burried past 100psi. Then in a minute, it dropped and jerked back up, repeated. I thought I would let it warm up, pump new oil thru engine. & guage did return to normal in few minutes--big relief. No problems on test drive.
Then this morning, coming to work, guage spiked again, burried past 100psi and stayed there, even at idle... Engine seems to run fine, but this can't be good.
Few monthes ago, piece of plastic from my dipstick broke, lost in the tube, presumbly in pan. I changed oil couple of time since, have not had any problems like this before. Is it possible to thread sending unit in too far, or too tight?
Can anyone shed some light on this? Could really use help to get this solved...
