Hello,
I was just out driving and while I was at a stoplight I noticed that my stock oil pressure guage was flickering left to right and the check guages light on the tach would flash as the guage went bonkers. As soon as I could I pulled over and shut the car off. checked the oil and it was right on the full mark on the dipstick. I started the car again and drove home with the oil pressure guage acting just fine.
Should i be concerned about my oil pump going out or do you guys think it's an electrical problem? right now when the car is running, the needle pegs to right side of the guage, and i think i have a loose ground somewhere that's causing that. would that also cause the guage to flicker like that?
Thanks
Andrew
