i dont know what the hell i did, but now my car reads 130 on the oil pressure gauge it was reading fine until i tighten the 2 nuts on the bottom of the oil pedestreal too MUCH!!! **** i put new orings too like 2 days ago, i hope i didnt **** them, i unscrew them a lil bit but the oil temperature was still at 130. what do u guys think i shoudl do? the needle when the car is turned off read below 0 so like -10. this just happend like 4 hours ago so i dont know since i unscrewed them alil maybe ill be fine tomorrow?

check your oil pressure sensor and make sure you didnt ground it out thats what i did. its a no brainer.

how did u grounded out? like how do u fix it?

the sensor wire on my car likes to fall off everyonce in a while... it's a simple hook up.. but for some reason, my plug is old/worn and doesnt hold on very well, sometimes causeing my oil P to read as low as 10 lbs. when it is correctly attached a get a healthy 105 psi at 3000

I've done the oil pellet mod and must say it's great.

come on guys , have nay idea what i could do to test the oil pressure regulator or if its maybe the o rings?

There is NO way overtightening the oil filter pedestal can affect the oil pressure readings - this is why you're not getting any useful responses.&nbsp The exception is if you pinched a wire somewhere or knock the oil pressure sensor around will messing around with the oil filter pedestal.&nbsp Whatever the case, you screwed something up so why don't you double check your work?

my oil pressure auge doesnt even work, its hooked up, but does that mean its bad? i got no oil leaks

Have you cleaned the contact surfaces? A lot of the time oil gets spilled on there during oil changes.

Dont try and mess with it when the car is running, ....it zaps the **** outta you. Hurts like a bitch....

hahhahaha. **** how do i grounded again. i know everything is perfect i hitted like mad bumps before this happened going like 20 mph instead of 10 and i heard a noise liek it hit some kind of metal.. so maybe i hit something on the bottom and since i dont have anything protecting the engine on the bottom. maybe something underneath is disconected??? any input?

Yikes normal 105 psi? maybe when cold, but I believe the mazda spec is 60 psi at 3000 rpms, mine stays about 60-70 from 3k on up

I just fixed it iM TRU ROTARY MECHANIC!! ****!! THANx all of you guys for answering to all my ghey threads and thanx black rx7 for not flaming me

BlackRx7

Why would I flame You?

vegeta6263

tru . thanx though im thinking it would be a good idea to buy that resistor that goes under the right bolt on the slave cylinder cuz it broke off while doing teh rebuild nad i never bought it. also i should buy the oill level sensor which i broke off too =( to reduce the chances of the oil pressure wire to ground out
