… this is not about a 914 but is about our 1977 911S Targa 2.7L
Took her in to have a bad ground fixed that was blowing a fuse on the clock/lighter circuit. While being serviced we had an oil change done although it didn’t really need it. We had 10L’s of Motul 20/50 added and new filter. While driving home I noticed that the oil pressure during throttle was almost pinned. When we got home (2 miles) the oil reading on the gauge at rest on level ground was just above the low line. This morning we moved it on the lift for winter storage and noticed a small puddle of oil, which never happens with this car. I cleaned the undercarriage and will see in the morning. Any ideas? |

I am wondering what they did to fix the ground on the clock. I think (not 100%) if you ground the oil pressure sender out (or the wire from the sender to the gage) it pins the gauge. Take it back in.

My mechanic is coming over on Tuesday. The oil pressure goes down at idle but up at throttle , so the wiring should be ok. The engine had 20/50 in it before but the temps havee changed. … oil on the ground was overflow and/or blow off? |
