Has 358000 miles, just had leaks repaired. Twice since my oil pressure gauge reads no pressure but not all the time? Why

1. Oil Pressure Gauge Not Working You will notice this happens when your oil pressure gauge is not reading, whether the engine is turned off, idle or running. Try to step on the gas to rev up the engine. If the oil pressure gauge still doesn't change its reading, your gauge is busted. It's best to replace it as soon as possible because you won't have any idea if your car is already overheating or not.
2. Oil Pressure Gauge Reading Too Low When your engine is idle, the oil pressure gauge will have a low reading. When the engine starts running or when you're already cruising or on the freeway, your gauge's reading should have increased. If it stays on a low reading, then you now your oil pressure gauge is broken.
3. Oil Pressure Gauge Reading Too High Another common oil pressure gauge problem is when your oil pressure gauge is reading too high when your engine is idle or when it's turned off. Rep

My 2001 Ford Ranger Edge oil pressure gauge has been jumping around all over the place. Took it in today and they said pump needs replacing... and that they had to remove the engine to do so at the tune of...

Your oil pressure gauge works with the oil pressure sensor, which is screwed into the block, to transmit a reading. A faulty oil pressure sensor can cause the reading on the gauge to be erratic. You may have a bad oil pressure sensor. You should also inspect the wires going to the sender to make sure they are not loose, corroded, or shorted. If a new sending unit doesn't work, you can check the oil pressure with a manual pressure gauge. Testing for oil pressure involves fitting the oil pressure gauge with an adapter. Then you will need to determine if you have a gauge problem or an actual oil pressure problem.

Oil pressure unit on a 2001 dodge dakota v8 4.7 replaced the oil pressure unit and the oil gauge is still reading low oil in the motor is high with the dip stick. Tried to reset the sensor by disconnecting...

Your talking about low oil pressure, not level, correct? Hope you can read diagram. The top wire, oil pressure sensor should be voltage and bottom wire is ground. Use digital multimeter on low voltage setting to check. The sensor sends signal to pcm, on the right in diagram, the dashed lines. Then the pcm sends data to instrument cluster on buss circuit.
I agree with other person, it could be low oil pressure and everything else is working correctly.

Audi:oil light came on, car won't start now...oil is showing full???

Check oil pressure sensor, if it is not working it will put your car in "Limp Mode" to protect the motor. If the sensor is working check the oil pump, it could have failed.

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE

I would start by replacing the oil pressure sensor. If that doesn't fix the problem, replace the oil pump. Its possible that the oil ports are partially clogged. If replacing sensor and pump do not fix the problem, you may want to try to flush the engine with an approved cleaner

Oil pressure gauge suddenly reads maximum

Are you referring to the oil pressure gauge on the dash? If so, that is most likely the oil pressure sending unit having gone bad. The sensor runs about $40 - 50 (at least the last time I had to replace one on that engine). They are not terribly difficult to replace and I believe its a three wire sensor located back side of the engine, on the passenger side area. Its in a kind of tight spot and takes a bit to get it completely screwed out, but it can be done.

When they go bad, they typically will cause the gauge on the dash to read maximum oil pressure. You should be okay to run like that until you can get a new sensor as long as it is reading maximum oil pressure on the gauge and not low or no oil pressure on the gauge.
