    Default oil pressure sensor?

    it came to my attention that vz models have oil pressure sensors which go out earlier apparently? how do you check if this has happened too you? over the year ive had a problem with mine where when i turn it on in the morning, it will take about a minute for the revs to come down to idle and be driveable, if i drive as soon as i turn the car on, the car hardly moves. after if i turn off and turn back on it is fine. but if i dont drive for about 12 hours, it does it again????

    get the car checked by a tech 2 or fault code reader... doesnt sound like an oil pressure sender thats usually a error on the screen, i suggest checking all your oils, condition of drive belt and all the pulleys on the motor. is it auto or manual? Possibly try removing the negative terminal ooff the battery and resetting the ECU.

    i had the car checked by a tech2 by greg not too long ago, wouldve been about 3 months when i had the airbag warning constantly on cause i swapped over steering wheels. its an auto. i will get the belts checked, i have noticed when i floor really hard from a red light to red line, a belt screeches on a gear change.

    get the belts checked (its as simple as opening the bonnet and looking and feeling them, push down on the longest section of belt, in the middle and if it moves more then 1.5cm up and down the belt needs adjusting)

    I also sugest stop flogging vthe crap out of your car, they are to be enjoyed not killed!
