oil pump question

[jerzy_illest_pa]

how you doing nico well i had a question my car has been sitting in the same spot for about 3-4 months never knew what was wrong now i finally fixed found out. it was my crank sensor. Fixed it now it works but the person who fixed my car notice that the oil pressure on my cluster didnt move. I wanted to know if this is a common thing to happen with the cluster or if the Z's are known to have problem with the oil pump thanks guys

oil pump failure isn't common, did you maybe at some point workign on the car unplug the oil sender by cacident? it's near the old filter

well on the cluster it moves a tiny bit when you rev the engine but then it goes back to 0 could it be i need oil cause the car idles fine and it has oil

A more common issue on these cars is the oil pressure sending unit (located right above the oil filter) goes bad and shows low or no oil pressure. If the needle does move even a little, I'd check the sender.

confirmed... crappy design and high failure rate.

it's a lot of fun mid corner on a track and the pressure drops to 0.

easy and inexpensive fix.

so I'm suppose to be lookin for the sender or the sensor???

the oil pressure sender, si a sensor that screws into an oil port, same thing, different word
