for the $13 it costs for a oil pressure switch, its worth trying that 1st

[rob drag racer]

as stated oil pressure switch worst case pickup is blocked or the oil pump is shot my bet is the switch is shot when you pulled the dip stick out after a run did you see any small bubbles at all and if ya realy want to check for pressure remove the fuel pump fuse then remove the pressure switch and get some one to crank it over once its messy but works but as i say im with ScoHar with the switch

bit of a update, just blew the switch out with a bit of compressed air and it was fine, im guessing there was just a water buildup on th switch ...ty for respondes

i find the same thing happens to me.


if a decent amount of water runs on or near the switch it will start working and not working.


glad you sorted out your problem mate
