yah its going to rain in like 2 hours so im kinda in a hurry, ive ran the nylon tubing from the oil gauge, now it says run to egine block?? where at on the engine block?? idk, i need help.. thanks, SHane

infinatenexus

If its D series, the place is ontop of the oil filter, its the location for the stock sensor. you can either run a "T" so you can retain the idiot light, or you can just use the gauge

it says i need to plug into oil pressure port, i have no clue where thats at, d15b7.. thanks

i just went out their raised up my car and didnt see no sensor or anything

infinatenexus

you have to remove the oil filter, its between the filter, and the intake manifold. its hidden by block webbing. It should have two wires running to a small sensor that you will remove

Eibach95Civic

ok i found it , i pulled the plug for it?? now their is like a like bobber sticking out, now what do i do??

Eibach95Civic

ahh, im a dumbass i just took oout the oil filter not thinking oil would come and it went all over my face but im pissed and whats and "T" connector? any have a picture

infinatenexus

I assume your talking about the oil pressure sensor?

You remove it, and then screw in one of the brass adapters that game with the gauge. from then you put on the brass bushing, tighten the fitting, and run the line to the gauge

i just tried removing the sensor from the block its on their like a bitch, is their any secrets to getting this thing off, or should it just pull off??

EX-T

You'll need a 15/16th" socket to get the "bobber thingy" off. The "bobber thingy" is your oil sending unit. After you take it off you'll need the brass "T" connector and if you don't already have one and it's fixin' to rain you're chit out of luck.

i finnally got it on but without the oil sensor in, do i need this to drive my car, i will get a t connector but i cant get it with out diriving my car in town, so is it ok to drive without this sensor in??

infinatenexus

aslong as you hooked the line up to the gauge,, you will be fine with the exception of a oil light being on

Eibach95Civic

ok now on the gauges, how really do you read it, i punch the gass and it goes to 100 i let off and it goes to about 75~80

is it electronic or mechanical?

EX-T

It's obviously mechanical if he had to run an oil line into the cabin of the car. Something is wrong because it should only be around 25 psi at idle, unless the car has been sitting for a while and is running at operating temperature. If you just started it after it sat for a while and cooled off then it is reading right b/c the oil is thicker after it sits for a while.

yah it could be that, but i turned my car on when the oil filter was out , i loss quite of bit of oil... could it be becuase low level of oil??

EX-T

your oil pressure would be low then...it's reading right...let it warm up and then tell us what it's reading...

Eibach95Civic

yah i loss all my oil yesterday, it sucked, so i filled it, but i still havent ran it , but thanks for the help yesterday i really needed it, Honda-Tech kicks ***... ohh yah i have a water temp. gauge i didnt use, but how does that get hooked up?

Eibach95Civic

WTF!! i went outside today rechecked all my oil lines and the new ones i hooked up for the oil gauge, it still reads at 80psi at idle?? is this good?? idk help

EX-T

if the engine is cold then that's why your oil pressure is so high...let your car warm up and then tell us what the pressure is reading...actually drive it around for a while and see what it does...

Eibach95Civic

i let it warm up and at idle it reads 20, but when you are going about 70mph is it suppose to read at 80??

EX-T

everything is "A" ok dude....

EX-T

and hey, just to let you know, be careful when you change your oil filter, be extremely careful b/c the other day I changed my oil filter and bent my tubing and it cracked and leaked oil pretty bad and I had to take it off b/c I didn't have the time to fix it...just a lil reminder...

GARBhatch.

well i was asking if it was electronic or mechanical because i have an electronic one i need to hook up. Don't mean to steal the thread dude, but you have your problem solved. Should i simply splice the signal wire into one of the wires coming out of the sensor you were talking about? TIA
