Ok, I just finished my s4 to s5 13bt swap and just did my timing. Everthing was fine until i went on my maiden voyage around the block. Then, all of a sudden, the oil pressure shoots to MAXIMUM!! holy crap, what do I do now? what does this mean? I'm scared...

Sir Rupert Hobo

umm, if you just finished doing ALL of that, then you should'nt be scared of anything by now.

the connection on the oil pressure sender probably isn't hooked up yet.

Kenteth

the wire to the oil pressure guage/sensor is ground-shorted. Whenever that wire recieves a ground, it will max the gauge. Look for a red/yellow wire which runs to the gauge and parallel with the capacitor and oil pressure sensor

omg thank you sooo much I found that wire, and i pluged it into some random *** thingy, yup.. it's to the ground, um.. where does it go to? im confused

Tofuball

Look under the oil filter, neer the heater hose that plugs in around there for a big bulb with a little copper tab. That is the oil sender unit. The wire goes on the copper tab.

Kenteth

Of course I actually lose that tab and I ended up wrapping the barewire around that round bulb/nipple thing and it worked fine... looks kinda ghetto, but it works.
