I would start by replacing the oil pressure sending unit. If that does not correct the problem, I would look closely at the gage itself. If you hear any valve train noise at cold startup, you need to have an oil pressure test run to make sure you actually have good oil pressure when starting the engine cold. Possibly the gage is correct and you do have 0 oil pressure when cold.
Check engine light : Gauge cluster without tachometer ( under the engine oil pressure gauge ) Gauge cluster with tachometer ( just to the left of the battery voltage gauge )
On a 2002 Ford Ranger : The check " gage " light comes on if : The engine coolant temperature is TOO HIGH The engine oil pressure is TOO LOW or The fuel gauge is at or near empty
It means at least one of the gauges is out of its normal range. The "check gauge light" is notifing you to take notice with either the engine temp gauge, the battery gauge or the engine oil pressure gauge.
No , the CHECK " GAGE " light comes on if the gas gauge is at or near empty , the engine coolant temperature is HIGH , or the engine oil pressure is LOW
A boost gauge in an internal combustion engine has the role of a pressure gauge. The gauge indicates the manifold's air pressure or a turbocharger or supercharger's boost pressure.
Yes
The oil pressure sending unit is located on the drivers side of the engine on the rear of the head. It has one wire going to it. It's a pain in the butt to get to. I'm looking for the temp sending unit on my 89 4cy ranger. Any idea?
The sending unit for your oil pressure gauge is located on the drivers side of the engine , below the power steering pump on your 4.0 L - OHV engine
If your oil pressure gauge is high you have to much oil in your engine. Overfilling your engine can result in you blowing out your gaskets.
Definitely! I had this problem diagnosed and found that the gas gauge is fine, but the internal float sticks and this is a common problem. Obviously the "Check Engine Soon" comes on because of this and the gas gauge is almost always incorrect.
On a 2000 Ford Ranger : If you happen to have the 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine : The oil pressure sending unit for the dash gauge is located on the drivers side of the engine , below the power steering pump
The check gage light comes on if your engine coolant temperature is high , the oil pressure is low , or the gas tank is almost empty
