[QUOTE="mcglsr2, post: 1212016, member: 15705"] When I bought my car, the oil pressure gauge had been replaced with an aftermarket one. After poking around, I determined it was because the wire that attached to the stock sender has broken/frayed. I run aftermarket gauges now so it's a moot point to me. But that may be your issue. As far as pressure, it depends on how hot it is, but I usually idle around 20 to 25, and at around 3000 RPM I'm a little over 40 psi. I hover around 60psi when cold. This is on a "healthy engine" (my mechanic told me it was healthy when he was working on it a couple weeks ago and had the heads off). Edit: When you say "mileage just shuts off" do you mean the odometer? If so, then that is a broken gear in the cluster. Easy to fix, cheap part on LMR. As for the speedo, what does it do? Just sit at 0? Sits at a reading and stays there? Could be bad gear in trans, or nick in wire from VSS to cluster? Do the rest of your gauges work (voltmeter, fuel gauge, water temp)? [/QUOTE]
