    The first thing you should have done was replace the oil pressure switch.

    The idiot light is all but useless if you do not KNOW the switch is good.

    Since your engine would have seized a LONG time ago had it suffered from 100% oil starvation at redline its obvious to me the switch is bad.

    m20 oil pressure problems - please advise

    i have an m20b27(s-eta with i top end) and the light in the dash has been flickering on and off for a while(1 or 2 weeks) today i replaced the iol bleed-off thingy and everything seemed fine until i got to the gas station... the low oil pressure light in the cluster had came on, now the thing is before this i noticed that you never knew when it was going to read low pressure, some times it was fine at idle, some times i got no pressure till 800, other times till 1,200, 1,800, 2,500 or even a few times no pressure until redline, now i dont know to much about engines but last time i checked no matter how bad the bearing are if its not making noise you are gonna make pressure as long as you are moving... the thing is, when i left the gas station the car read no oil pressure it stayed on regardless of the RPM, may it be 700 or 6,500. now its not ticking or knocking so what is going on, what do i do?

    please call me and walk me thru this, its my only car - 913-636-2249
