GT500SC07 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Changed the oil and fired her up and now there is no oil pressure showing on the analog gauge HELP! Anyone have ideas as to what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckySnake Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's normal to not see pressure for up to several seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judgeman6970 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 The Ford oil pressure gauge is actually wired like an "idiot lite". Anything over about 5-10lbs should activate the gauge(this is why the reading is always the same regardless of rpm's). If there's no reading, most likely bad connection or sending unit.....

Anyone have ideas as to what is going on? Did you let it run for more than a few seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
