Best Answer

Many sending units do not have continuity below 6-7psi. This would cause the gauge to read nothing and indicate a base engine problem. Some type of engine noise would be associated with this concern (ie. ticking, rattling). The sending unit or wire to the gauge could be open. This would be an electrical problem and have nothing to do with the engine. Along that same line would be a defective gauge.

What possible reasons would a 1997 ford expedition lose oil pressure after a few miles?

Oil Pressure Sensor Testing 1. Test and verify the engine oil pressure. If no or insufficient pressure exits, oil pressure problem exits and gauge and sensor are operational, repair oil pressure problem. 2. Check the appropriate fuse before attempting any other diagnostics. 3. Unplug the sensor electrical hardness. 4. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity between the sensor terminals. 5. With the engine stopped, continuity should not exist. Ø The switch inside the oil pressure sensor opens at (6) psi or less of pressure. 6. With the engine running, continuity should exist. 7. If continuity does not exist as stated, the sensor is faulty.

Why does gasoline come out of a moffler?

Your Engine is running to rich. Depending on the year and type of vehicle,would make troubleshooting easier. Bad float in carb, leaking injector, fuel pressure regulator, bad 02 sensor, mass sensor and more. Is running and coming out, or cranking not starting and coming out, all makes a difference to troubleshoot.
