[QUOTE="Rolltide1006, post: 16098988, member: 191938"] Hello all and I apologize if this issue I am having has been answered before. I can’t find my particular issue discussed on google :( Oil is full and is Motorcraft 5w-20 with a Motorcraft oil filter. Wiring to the autometer gauge is [emoji108][emoji2532] I have a 97 GT and hooked up a autometer oil pressure gauge to know where I am at. The motor is a 4.6 2v and has PI heads, blower cams and was rebuilt 2k miles ago. Oil pressure is 70-80psi on cold start and I never lose it or see it drastically change.
