Ok I had my head gasket replaced at a garage, and took them forever to do it. but neways since i got the car back i have had very low to NO oil pressure, oil light comes on engine light comes on and oil pressure gauge us at like 5lb<-- DO HAVE A OIL PRESSURE GAUGE still no luck... its like below this mark, the oil light, engine light are on.. and gauge is hardly movng, i took the valve cover off and barly ne oil at all coming up...

since then i have changed the oil 4 different times tried different grade oils etc. I have tried everything..

I took the engine all apart , cylinder walls are fine no scoring or nething, head is fine, had it checked..

Its not just the switch messed up is it?

 

I just got my engine comparment painted, and i am no in the middle of puttin the engine back together, i did find on the back of the block a green plug in with one wire coming out of it (blue wire) that was no hooked up where does this go to??

and how can i check the switch..

ANY HELP IS great guys thanks..

I am re doin it myself this time..

 

oil pump? could be defective...other than that check the lines for leaks

 

the oil light is bullshit. it does not come on until it see less then 5psi of oil pressure, by that time its too late if your driving. your best bet is to get a oil pressure guage so u can know exactly whats going on in the motor

 

Oil LIGHT DOES come on..
I got a oil pressure gauge its below 5lb
Engine light comes on
hardly ne oil at all is coming up into the head, and only on one side..

NE TIPS HINT
also found a green plug on back side of block driver side, that was not hooked up.. where does this go, wire is coming out (blue wire)

 

SELF BUMP!!

Anyone got nemore ideas??//

Is the green plug a bolt in plug with a silver tip coming off of it? If it is right to the left of the oil filter on back of the block, then that is your oil pressure sensor. Where do you have your oil pressure gauge tapped at? Have you pulled your oil pan and checked to pickup to see if its clogged? Or maybe check the pickup gasket to see if its ok?

Since a head gasket has been done... Im placeing my money on the Oil control orphice.

I unfortunately Am having to master the honda oil system due to my rebuilt gsr motor hacing no oil pressure at idle but ok in upper rpms..

The oil control orphice sits on the deck. It Controls major oil flow to the head. Basically It takes a a big oil port and makes it small by a insert called the oil control orphice.

THIS PART IS VERY EAILY LOST during a headjob/engine rebuild. There was a Bulletin put out back when this happened allot back in the day.

If this is gone, You will loose all your presusre there, because its makeing the hole much much much larger than the system was intended to be.

This part is only 5 dollars from acura.



Part number 9. Make sure this is sitting on your deck. should be sitting recesed. Its a Little round insert with threads in the hole that will identify it. Its the only one on the deck.

I wish that was the reason for my problem....But i still cant find mine out after trying all the above and more.

knock sensor

 

you said the check engine light comes on aswell.... why dont you check the code??? that might help diagnose your problem

 

check what code its throwing so we can help u out. if it throws a 22 its the green plug on the vtec solenoid.

 

The best thing to do is not run your engine nor drive it. Little to no oil pressure WILL grenade your engine.
