l just did a h22 swap few weeks ago. l just replaced driver side axle then later on when l went driving oil light kept coming on when l pressed clutch in and let off gas. and will cut off when l shift to 5th or come to stop. thinking its oil sending unit wire and a safety cutting car off. opinions? help?

 

wire was loose. fixed it and still oil light is coming on???????????

 

Oil sending units go bad try replacing, they are not much $. Not to state the obvious but did you check your oil level?

 

Oil level is fine

 

Could you explain the symptom again? I don't understand what you mean.

 

Oil level is at perfect level not loosing any oil but oil light comes on when I come to stop or for the short period I shift will blink. And cuts off sometimes when at stop or going into 5th. Checked oil sendibg unit wire was loose fixed n still comes on

 

To check oil pressure you remove the sending unit and install a pressure guage in it's place. Compare the readings to the manufacturers specification. If oil pressure is good the problem is likely electrical or with the sending unit itself.

A simple way to check for an electrical problem is to remove the connector and ground it. The oil light should go out. Test drive the car and see if the oil light stays out. If it does the problem is likely to be the sending unit or the oil pressure. If the light continues to come on with the connector grounded the problem is likely in the wiring.

 

yea l will try that when i get some free time. anyone know the part # for the oil sending unit? l cant find it anywhere. and any other ideas of what this could be? i had to drive a good distance and was driving as normal so l dont think its oil pressure. has a new oil pump

 

bump?

 

Im gonna get or order oil pressure switch today. My ? Now is when I shift into 5th.car cuts off. Is this cuz of switch or something else?

 

???

 

anyone?

 

Does the car die as soon as the shifter is moved to 5th gear? Or, when you release the clutch? Does the car die any other time? When the car dies, do all the lights on the guage cluster come on?

 

All lights on gauges come on n dies when I let out clutch never happened before this problem. And died a few times at stop but hasnt really done it since. If I give it gas n shift very quickly it will go into 5th

 

Check your grounds, I know it may sound dumb but a poor ground can make a honda do some goofy **** lol, I would after checking the oil pressure, changing the pressure unit, and checking the grounds, check the pick up screen.

Hope you get your car squared away man! Good luck

 

Pick up screen is clean soaked it n oil pan in gas to clean when I broke engine down. And I have 1 single wire to oil pressure switch

 

ok well l replaced oil pressure switch and light still comes on. l have a new oil pump and oil level is correct. l took oil cap off right after driving and oil is reaching top of engine. l havent put a oil gauge on but if l had oil pressure drop l should notice a difference when driving and it drives the same as before it came on. what in the world could this be?

 

????

 

You keep bumping, posting question marks but never said if you performed an electrical diagnostic of the circuit.

???

 

It could be excessive bearing clearance(too big), clogged oil pick-up screen, worn oil pump(but you said it's new), and low oil level which you said is full.
