Probly bad connection or just a bad sensor.
A mechanical oil gauge may bounce if you are low on oil. An electric oil gauge may bounce if the sending unit or the gauge itself is faulty and of course you are low on oil.
The oil gauge shows the oil's temperature. The oil pressure gauge monitors the oil pressure for your viewing pleasure.
Connect the wiring harness to the back of your oil pressure gauge. Secure the oil pressure gauge with the retaining screws.
Defective gauge, defective oil pressure sending unit, low of oil, defective oil pump.
Six-year the oil pressure gauge for your 1999 Mitsubishi eclipse with the retaining screws. Connect the oil pressure gauge wiring harness.
"T" into the existing oil pressure gauge with brass pipe fittings. This way you will have the original oil pressure gauge and the mechanical oil pressure gauge. Don't forget to use thread sealer.
No.No.No.No.
Most oil pressure gauges operate by a varying voltage. The oil pressure changes the resistance in the oil sensor, causing the gauge to change readings.
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.
Measures the engine oil pressure and sends this information to the oil pressure gauge.
wire came off of the sensor (for oil pressure) or the sensor is bad. Or your oil pump is not working (not likely if you have been driving it at all). My 99 did not show pressure for a few minutes or would bounce up and down. Repalced and problem went away
It's a gauge which displays the measured pressure of oil running through the system. Pretty self explanatory.
