I have a 2001 sport i just bought and the red oil pressure gauge goes on whenever the vechile comes to a stop or even idles....my mechanic told me it was an idiot light...its just the oil going back to its lower cylinders. Suggest you have the oil pressure checked. If pressure is ok, replace the sending unit/switch.

How does pressure gauge work?

Reverse airflow feels a chamber inside the gauge and reads the pressure equal to the inside of the tyre its that simple. Same for air compressure, when the pressure is applied it seals the valve on the gauge end then back pressure fills the chamber inside the gauge when you release the gauge from the tyre valve the pressure has gone!!


What to do if the sand filter gauge reads zero and won't backwash?

this usually means that the multiport valve in the filter head is bad.. the gauge is not always accurate. replace gauge. the impeller in the pump can also be cloged not allowing you to get any pressure in your gauge. the backwash will be very slow if not any..
