Hi, all. Just bought a 2000 Bright Silver Metallic GT convertible with a 5 speed tranny and only has 34,000 miles on the clock. I have a quick question about the oil pressure gauge....
It seems that on cold start, the gauge stays at 0 then will abruptly come alive and read in the middle. It will do this 2 or 3 times then will hold steady in the middle position. The oil was just changed and is at the correct level. Could this possibly be the sending unit going bad or a loose connection that tightens up under thermal expansion?
Also, is this a dummy gauge in the fact that it simply reads if there is pressure? I haven't seen the needle move under acceleration.
Thanks in advance!
