vr oil sensor
gday
just need to get a quick answer (its worth a cartoon of rum to me)
will a v6 strart with no oil in it or will the sensor stop it from?
thanks AUSSIE
on holiday
it will run with no oil the oil sender is just a backup for fuel supply for limp home mode when the ecu cant turn the pump on or if the relay dies
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable
it got driven to work today then wont start at smoko just ticks away. Anyway of working out the reason why it would do that checked the leads and earth battery got plenty of power
please help driving to brisbane tomorrow
Check the starter motor electrical connections etc.Ticking sound is usually a sign of a flat battery.Try jump starting it.The battery might have power but not enough to turn the engine over.The ECU needs the battery voltage to be above a certain level to work too.
just waiting for rain to stop then will try a jump
"..of mice and men.."
This may sound odd, but find a light hammer, or heavy spanner or something, and try giving the starter motor and solenoid a few taps?
Has worked in the past for me on various cars with similar symptoms.. lol
On the 7th day, God created Holden, then on the 8th day, God created Ford, to keep idiots out of Holden's.

It might be a faulty "start" relay near the fuses under the bonnet. Swap it with the horn relay then see if it starts then.
it was the starter motor they replaced it started first kick thanks for the help

I'm not sure that is correct - the engine should not run with no oil pressure and should not start with no oil or at least that's the way I understand it....but I may be wrong. Attached is what the Gregory manual says.
Real cars are steel cars.
I know they wont start if the oil pressure switch gets full of water after an engine wash.
Put the switch in the oven to dry it out. Even then it may not work. Had to occasionally replace the switch.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?
he had very little oil in there under the empty light i couldn't beleave it he is a diesel fitter
