What could cause oil pressure gauge on a 2004 Grand Jeep Cherokee to fluctuate?
It goes up while driving and down when you're idle....that's normal
Why when truck warms up oil pressure goes down and to zero at idle but good pressure when cold?
If you have the correct weight oil in the engine, it sounds like the engine may be worn. If you haven't checked the oil pressure with a manual gauge (vs the dash gauge) that is a good place to start to verify that it is not a gauge/sensor problem.
Why would the oil pressure gauge on a 2005 Nissan Xterra drop at idle after it's warmed up?
oil pressure normally will go up and down with rms for the most part. when the motor is cold there is more oil pressure as the oil and motor get warmed up the oil thins out and the pressure goes down.
Why does my 95 Cougar's 4.6L oil pressure gauge fluctuate with the throttle?
Your oil pressure goes up with more throttle (higher rpm) and there is less pressure say at idle. Therefore your gauge reading will vary according to the throttle/rpm.
What would cause your oil pressure gauge to go down to the red line at idle and back up when driving I'm thinking oil pump oil pressure sensor or the gauge?
sounds like the cam bearings may be going bad
1995.5 Honda Passport Oil pressure showing at between 10 and 15 on the gauge Does anybody have a clue as to what it could beWhen on idle it goes to 10or15 but when rung it goes to 50 Is it normal?
normal
Is an oil gauge supposed to go up when you accelerate and back down at idle?
Found out this can be cause by a faulty oil pressure switch best known as oil pressure sending unit
Does the oil leak cause the gauge to stop idling?
A gauge does not idle, please rephrase and re-ask the question.
Your Chevy s10 oil gauge sits at 20 when you idle is that normal?
Yep!
Why is the oil light in a 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse coming on at an idle and then goes off?
If it comes on at an idle and goes out when you give it gas, you may have a weak oil pump. That's not good. Put a mechanical gauge on it and it will tell you the pressure in lbs. At an idle, you want 30 lbs at least, I would think. Also, check the oil level. Has the oil been changed recently? Take the oil cap off and look in the valve cover and see if it sludges up. That will stop up your pickup tube. Hope that helps.
I have a Chevy Silverado 2002. What if the oil gauge goes up and then down makes a ticking sound when starting the engine?
Waht is the answer?
1989 Mazda RX7 has HIGH oil pressure at idle and goes even higher off the stock gauge when driving Also is blowing lots of burnt oil smoke when idling?
Sounds like you are getting engine compression in to your oil jacket.
