Do not run the engine until you have checked oil level, sounds like you are very low on oil.
A watt engine indicator is used to perform a measurement of the amount of steam pressure in a cylinder. This process is completed with the assistance of a manometer.
Depends, but a normally running engine will have fluctuating oil pressures depending on engine speeds and loads. Generally speaking, as long as you have oil pressure, you're good, and at idle, good oil pressure is typically 35 psi or more, and 15 psi or more is acceptable for most engines.
Th oil indicator light in most cars is attached to an oil pressure sensor. The sensor is designed to warn of low pressure to prevent engine damage.
Oil pressure shouldn't register at all until the engine starts and builds up pressure.
The oil pressure sensor sends a reading to the gauge so you can moniter the engine's oil pressure. No oil pressure means the engine is in big trouble.
Answer 1 - Fluctuating Oil Pressure Gauge IndicationI am not familiar with your particular vehicle, BUT... Usually fluctuating oil pressure during idle indicates that the engine idle speed is fluctuating and may need to be adjusted to manufacturer's specifications. Sometimes, this is an indication of wear in an engine.While the check engine warning lights are ON, indicates that during that time the engine oil pressure is below the manufacturer's recommended "safe" level.Although sustained low oil pressure can damage an engine, during idle, brief, intermittent, low oil pressure excursions do not harm the engine, but do suggest that you have the low oil pressure issue "checked out" by a qualified automotive technician.If this problem occurs at normal driving speeds, then you either are low on oil in the engine, or have other problems which could be hazardous for the health of your engine.
No. The harmonic balancer does exactly what it says. It is to keep the engine from viberating. You need to install a manual oil pressure gauge and run the engine cold and hot to determine if you really have a pressure problem. Most likely you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.
Watt indicator mechanisms are commonly used in steam engines to measure the power output of the engine in watts. This helps engineers monitor the efficiency and performance of the engine and make adjustments as needed. Watt indicator mechanisms typically consist of a pressure gauge and a crank mechanism to measure the pressure and power output of the steam engine.
It depends on the indicator. Check engine means the engine computer has detected a malfunction. The oil can is an oil pressure problem, a battery is a charging problem, etc
To reset the low tire pressure indicator on a 2005 Lexus LS 430, first ensure that all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure. Then, turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Press and hold the tire pressure warning reset button, usually located beneath the steering column, for a few seconds until the indicator light blinks and then goes off. Finally, start the engine, and the indicator should remain off if the tire pressures are correct.
