I installed a new grey oil pressure sensor in the port below the water pump. This did not change anything. I then found out that there is a second oil pressure sensor between the push rod tubes on the left side of the engine. I replaced that one with a known good grey switch. This did not change anything. I have not checked the actual pressure because I do not have the necessary adapters for my oil pressure gauge, and also because of the inaccessibility of the ports. I measured the resistance of the switches and found them to be 2.5k with the engine off and about 400 with the engine running. Can anyone explain to me how this system works? Things were so much simpler when VW's used air to cool their engines! Thank you in advance.
