Sounds like a sending unit to me...

+1 mine fail every 25k miles/2yrs...and it's not expensive to replace anyway.

+1000 on the sending unit. Very common problem. When you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras.

FIFY

And another thing: After you change it, and your needle is pegged solid, and you are thinking "Wow look at that! It hasn't worked like that in years!" you know your wires are on backwards.

Excellent advice, thank you. I will start with the easy stuff and post back.

And, please give an update when you figure it out. With that many posts, another one here should be easy for you.

I have finally taken this week off work so I'm bringing the car in Monday. I haven't been driving the car except for a few times, and last week the oi pressure gauge went nuts on me, all over the place when the car was idling. I have to admit scared me some, so I haven't driven it since. I'll report back what the indy says on Monday.

Happy 4th!

SHE"S GONNA BLOW! QUICK!! YOU NEED JOE GIBBS OIL!!!
Oh wait, what? The sending unit?, never mind.

Riad

F-ck it, I'm going to change it myself. Oil change, front brakes and new sending unit.

Now where did I put my one wrench?

Find this one, you might have to grind/file it flatter if you get a thick one, and use it with your long "wobble" extension to get to the sender from the bottom. Don't get dirty!
