So last night the hose from the engine to the oil pressure sender blew out and sent oil everywhere. fortunately I was about 1 mile from home. Lot of oil everywhere, hopefully I did not fry the engine. of course to figure that out I need to get a new sender in place. I would like to have a sender that works the green idiot light and can also work a gauge and of course I would rather not have a hose after this incident. Any suggestions on the sender type and where to get it and what to expect when i try to restart the car...after adding oil of course! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

QUOTE(pete000 @ Nov 13 2017, 11:05 AM)  Here is the kit I got from a Miata MX5 performance site. Nice SS hose and fittings.Clamp included. Hopefully you have added a ground wire to the outside of the sender. The insulation on the clamp will otherwise interfere with the ground path for the sender, and you're either going to get no readings, or inconsistent ones. --DD |
