The oil pressure gauge on my SR5 is very erratic. It usually sits at zero...sometimes it will bump up to "normal" and then slowly creep back down to zero and just stay there. It's done that for a while and no ill effects that I can tell.
I am thinking about replacing the sender with an OEM sender, but from what I can tell there is no cable to connect to? How does it "send" the signal back to the gauge? On a past 4Runner, I replaced the temp sensor and that has a little spade fitting. Just not sure about this one.
I could diagnose it with a mechanical gauge but then I would be spending $30-$50 for a gauge that might tell me the pressure is fine and the sender is the problem.
