My car was running fine yesterday except the exhaust (shortened due to it breaking) was heating up my gas tank and causing me to get air in my fuel lines after braking zones....but it would stop sputtering and then run normal shortly after.....

i am pretty sure i checked the oil pressure guage here and there during the race... anyway... now when i start it up the oil doesn't make it's way into the clear straw like tube that runs to the back of the guage.

it has plenty of oil and i haven't done anything with it since the end of the race. It is hooked up right from the block to the oil pressure guage.

any suggestions?

thanks

 

Is the oil pressure idiot light on the dash coming on?

No...JEI disconnected it....no sending unit is there...just the little tube / straw thing.

 

I haven't seen your setup - if you have time to take a picture, that would be helpful. Did you call James about it?

i took the tube thing off the block and the meter...it looks like it is crimped a little too much and my have a cut near the meter... i'll find somewhere to make a new one soon..... that would be awesome if that is all it is.

The lights still worked on the meter so i am guessing the meter itself is not the problem.?

i may call James if this doesn't work.
