No. The harmonic balancer does exactly what it says. It is to keep the engine from viberating. You need to install a manual oil pressure gauge and run the engine cold and hot to determine if you really have a pressure problem. Most likely you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.
No, a sending unit is for a gauge, and the switch is for a warning light.
Low or no oil pressure. Can be low of oil, a failed oil pump, or other problem.
the oil pressure sensor, for a dash with idiot lights (no gauge), is located on the top of the engine at the back behind the distributor virtically screwed in. The oil guage sensor, for a dash with an oil gauge, is located above the oil filter on the drivers side of the engine screwed in horizontally.
If you problem is that the gauge shows oil pressure with the engine off, you have a gauge or sending unit failure.
The oil gauge shows the oil's temperature. The oil pressure gauge monitors the oil pressure for your viewing pleasure.
Your check gauge light comes on if : your coolant temperature guage shows the temperature is high your oil pressure gauge shows the oil pressure is low or your fuel gauge shows the fuel tank is near empty
I feel sure you have checked to see that the engine has oil in it. You need to install an external oil pressure gauge, the mechanical type and check for pressure. If it shows that you have oil pressure then your sending unit is defective.
no if the oil pressure gauge light is on it means that your car dose not have the oil pressure needed to properly oil the moving components, if you are sure that this is not the problem then replace the sensor and the light should shut off.
Connect the wiring harness to the back of your oil pressure gauge. Secure the oil pressure gauge with the retaining screws.
It's a device that registers or shows you on a dial with a pointer inside of it, how much oil pressure is inside of the engine when it's running.
One of the reasons that your check gauge light comes on is if your OIL PRESSURE is TOO LOW ( you can have plenty of oil but if your oil pump has failed you won't have enough oil pressure , your gauge actually shows oil pressure , it's not an indication of oil level ) If your engine is clattering , DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE , have your vehicle taken by tow truck or flatbed truck to a shop / garage where a professional can evaluate the situation
step one,is your oil pressure at 80 psi ? or is the gauge tellin you it is? step two,diagnose the problem.
Defective gauge, defective oil pressure sending unit, low of oil, defective oil pump.
You need to install an external oil pressure gauge and determine the true oil pressure. The problem could be just an oil sending unit.
