That Bell Notification will let you know when a new video drops. Peace!
My ‘06 1500 3.7 was acting that way the needle would rise then drop immediately and stay there. Replaced the oil sending unit and cleaned the connector, it fixed the problem right away. Thanks for the video
Awesome. Glad it was helpful
I just want to say thank you! This past Saturday my oil pressure gauge started doing this and man it freaked me out. Just had work done on my '07 4.7, and thought something was seriously wrong. Saw your video and checked my wire and sure enough oil in the connection. Changed the sensor in about 30 minutes and so far it seems like that was the issue. Again thanks and great video to show how to fix it.
Awesome job. Glad it was helpful.
My 2005 Ram (106,000 miles) does same thing. Started up at last oil change. Thanks for the vid. Makes me feel better, that it probably isn't a bad issue, with an easy, not too expensive fix.
I finally have a day off, gonna switch the switch today. 🤞 🙏
@@jeffschultz732 did you get it done and did it fix your problem?
@James Clark it did fix the problem and only costed me $20 for the part 😃
My 2002 ram 1500 was doing the same thing, watched your vid and it's now fixed, thank you.
Awesome !
Fixed my 2005 Ram 1500 for under $20 with a new oil pressure sending unit. Easy peasy. Thanks, sir!
Awesome Job. Glad I could help
Can't thank you enough! This just saved me from throwing a bunch of money at it... and definitely saved an argument with the Mrs. Much appreciated!
Thank you
If you have an actual oil pressure problem you can usually tell by how it runs but if everything seems fine 9x out of 10 it's switch or sensor related
So this is the EXACT issue that my 2007 Dodge Ram 4.7 is having, took it to the Dodge Dealership and they said they have no idea what it was. Thanks for the video! I’m gonna replace this now and fix this.
I hope it helps you fix it. Thanks for watching and let us know if it fixes it for you.
I think my 2008 1500 4.7 might be the same problem. It started after driving from IA to NJ on the beginning of the return trip to IA.
How much oil was lost changing the sensor?
I also have that same coolant leak into the oil filter drip tray. I haven't found the cause of that yet either.
@@donaldgarretson5007 not much oil comes out changing it
@@HotRodDave Got the OEM sensor from my local Dodgel dealer, now just need to replace it and hope the harness is still good.
@@donaldgarretson5007 If oil is in the connector spray it out with brake parts cleaner in short bursts so it doesn't force oil into the wiring
Thanks for all your information on this problem took it to a mechanic in my l town going to charge me almost $1,100 to fix this problem and because of this channel I was able to fix it for $42 and some change thank you and I will definitely be spreading the word about this channel.
Awesome Jordan. I am glad I could help. Thanks for the support I really appreciate it.
$1,100 that’s robbery
1,100 for a 10 to 15 minute job wtf?
Yea that definitely sounds like a liberal city and state, probably commiefornia@@stevenallen6245
Dude. Spot on. My gauge has been fluctuating for a while, but today really went bad. I watched your video on my phone from a work site, went to a parts place on my way home, and fixed it in my driveway in 20 minutes. Let it idle for a while like you did, went on a quick test drive to the store, came home and was happy for the inexpensive, right fix based on your informative video. Many thanks from Kentucky!
Awesome job and thanks for watching and the feedback
I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 5.9 experiencing the same issue with my oil pressure gauge going To parts store Tomorrow to get a new switch, Really appreciate your video, I'm also having the same issue with temperature gauge,could it be a bad switch also?,I'm gonna go ahead and replace both of them,It's not overheating but the gauge goes back and forth like the oil pressure gauge,Thanks again!!
Thanks for posting this video. It provides just the help I need to fix this problem. I had thought that maybe my engine was ruined somehow.
Excellent. I’m changing just to change at 165k. Just didn’t know how to disconnect without breaking it. Changing oil changing sensor. Well done.
Thanks for watching
In my '04, the pressure would drop to the peg. If I revved the engine, it would go back up, for awhile. Then one day, it would no longer do that. So I put a new sending unit, and it works great. Easy and cheap.
You can get to it through an open space above the fender liner, driver side, just to the rear of the computer. You have to slide the red clip laterally and press a lever, to get the plug off. That's the hard part. An 1-1/6" six-point deepwell socket works, and you can also buy a special socket for it.
I didn't lose even a drop of oil. Not sure why.
Same here- no oil came out, but my oil level's fine.
Well looks like I joined the club today. Gotta get my sensor today. Thanks for the info
I've got the big 3.7 in my Ram and it started doing this today. Thanks for the suggested fix. Much easier than an oil pump. That looks like a huge job to get through all of the timing chains just to get the oil pumps off these things. My truck only has 104k miles, so I think the pump is fine, and no weird noises or other symptoms. I had a suspicion that it would be the oil pressure unit.
Take'r easy!
It was the oil pressure sending unit. Fixed and the needle on the dash is rock solid now. Could not find an OEM unit close to me, had to go with a Chinese Standard Motor unit. We will see how long it lasts.
thanks for your video boss I have a 02 Dodge ram 4.7 and I had a sneaking suspicion that that gauge was going out because I had an old engine where that gauge never moved from the center I put a whole new engine in there because I had an issue with the main crank and that oil pressure gauge still didn't move well I was driving down the road it went all the way low came back up I checked my oil my oil was good so after watching your video I do believe that's what it is is that sending unit so thank you you probably saved me a lot of money in the shop to tell me it is a sending unit
It isnt supposed to move on these,gauge stays in middle.
Fixed mine with new oil pressure sensor, oil change and added 1 bottle of Lucas oil stabilizer in place of 1qt. of oil.Worked
Awesome! Good Job.
@Hot Rod Dave, thanks! I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee with the 4.7L HO engine, and the oil pressure gauge would drop to 0 when stopping at a light or any time the RPMs dropped below about 700. I replaced the oil pressure sending unit and cleaned the connector since it was full of oil, and I have made several trips and the problem has not reoccurred. As you show in your video, I think it is important that people clean the connector before reattaching it. I used electrical contact cleaner. Thanks again for posting the video!
Kevin I am glad I could help. You are most correct. Cleaning the connector is very important. Thanks for the feed back and hope you will subscribe and hit the like on the videos
Thank you sir for reassuring my suspicion...I have a 2003 Dodge ram 3500 5.7 hemi and it has 90,000 on the engine...I noticed the oil on the sensor plug start a while back. Just never paid it too much attention until now. Guess I need to order a new sensor and clean the connection. 👍 😂
My 1993 Cummins gauge was acting exactly the same way. Replaced it with OReilly (STANDARD brand) part number PS233 and it fixed it. 👍 My gauge needle moves smoothly and doesn't drop to zero and jump around anymore. Thanks!
Awesome . Thanks for watching
@HotRodDave I'm 400 miles from home with a 25' trailer behind me. So, it is a huge relief that it wasn't anything major like worn-out bearings, oil pump, oil pickup screen plugged, oil pressure relief valve sticking, etc
@SpoonerTuner Safe travels and I'm glad it wasn't something bad
My 2001 Dodge Durango needs this quick fix. Thank you!
Thank you for this video it helped confirm my suspicions, now I know I need to clean everything up really good and may also need to replace some of the wire. Thank you thank you!!! Oh and I definitely subscribed and will be watching more videos to expand my knowledge :)
Thank you. Glad it was helpful
Sounds exactly like what is going on with my '07 4.7. Thank you for making this video.
Hope it helps. Thanks for watching
Thank you for this video. Symptoms were the same as in the video on my truck. Replaced the oil pressure switch and cleaned connector. Works great!! Thanks again!!
Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Dave
My 05 dodge 1500 4.7 has been doing this , going to attack it this week , thanks for the lesson much appreciated👍
Liked and subscribed Ty again
@@timothystino592 glad I could help. Thank you
Have 2005 ram with 4.7. Oil has been disappearing and haven't seen drips or exhaust cloud. Oil pressure gauge staying right in middle. Just the other day been getting check gauges beep but hadn't caught the gauge needle movement. Ticking started about same time and just found out oil dip stick is dry. Oil changed only 3000 miles ago and it was almost dry then. Shop didn't mention sensor. Thanks for giving me something to look at. Just subscribed.
If it's not leaking it out it's burning it. I have seen a lot of 4.7s with that issue. It sometimes is the valve seals, leaking or the piston rings are worn. How many miles do you have?
155000-ish. You definitely could be right about valves/rings. I hate that I'm too physically beat up to much myself anymore. Thanks again for your help.
Just happened to me today, I have a 2006 dodge dame 1500 V6, gauge was going up and down and was scary during a 30 mile drive back. Pulled over checked oil and oil was fill, best $20 I spent, just make sure you have the proper deep well socket. Great video thanks
Glad you liked it
I have a 98 1500 v8 and mine is doing the same thing I'm glad you made this video so I know what to look for and how to fix !!

Thank you!
@HotRodDave you're welcome bro.
Thank you for your time…I’m gonna clean and replace that piece and hope it take care my issue…thank you new subscriber
Cool thanks for watching and subscribing. Let us know how it turns out.
Your comments and your video was extremely helpful you got right to the point not like somebody's videowell I'm going to go try it on my truck. Just rebuilt the heads so I have a feeling it's not exactly what you showed on the video there's no ticking noise no nothing engine runs smooth just driving one day and a gauge went down so I have a feeling is oil in it I did have to change that switch but when I did the new heads I'll let you know thanks for the help
Thank You getting to work my Durango is fluctuating like this is what I am going to start with
COOL thanks for watching
Thanks, I got an 01 I just bought with 168000 miles on it and this started happening, my heart sank
Hope it helps you out
Hi Dave,
Great suggestions, with running an aftermarket oil gauge. Thank you for the advice.
Have a 2005 dodge ram ,when you first start it no oil pressure,then turn off engine and restart you have oil pressure and it will work all day.only on the first start up . thanks
I hope this video was helpful.
Mine does the same thing did this fix work?
@@keezy5670 the best thing you can do is dive in and check the connector. If it has oil in it then follow the steps. If it doesn't have oil in the connector then run a manual oil pressure test with a gauge hooked to where the oil pressure sensor screws in.
Same here. First start, no pressure. Turn it off and restart, runs fine the rest of the day. 04 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. Thanks for the info. 👍🏼
Did it fix your issue?
Yep my 03 4.7 did this up and down on the pressure gauge 3 hours away. Can tell it was a sensor the way it would stop every now and then it went off a few weeks back on. Gonna try this today.
! thanks for you. tutorial,information very important!!.
It was very educated video thank you very much Sr. God bless you
Thank you
thanks for info my 2007 dodge started doing this
Your welcome. Best of luck to you
Thank you very much for this post! It was very enlightening! Bless you!
Thanks for watching
Great video. My oil gauge dips down every so often when I come to a complete stop with the check gauges light coming on as well. Goes back to normal when I drive again. Hopefully mine is an easy fix. Thanks 👍🏻
Sounds like the oil pressure switch deal just like in the video
How much are we suppose to thread the new sensor on? Do we thread until it stops or when it is nice and snug?
@@willywill5448 snug
Thank you, I was having the same issue as Blackbird Tech, and looks like it solved the problem. Notice the old sensor full of oil inside and out and I cleaned it out with some brake parts cleaner and gauge looks to be staying dead center...
@@willywill5448 Awesome.
Hope you will subscribe and like my videos. Thanks for watching.
Great video, will be do this today. Any info on the 2005 Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi water pumps? We are on our 3rd one and this one is now leaking, one from Advanced , Fishers, and one from the dealer is now leaking that cost $800 plus alone. They all seem to last around a year and a half then the belt starts squeaking to let us know it's leaking. 🤔 Appreciate any help we assuming it's just crap parts from wherever they are made now. China/Mexico
Thanks for posting the video. Nice smoker, by the way.
Thanks for watching. Checkout my bbq videos if you are interested.
Hey Cheers man! Thank you!
Just picked up an 03 Ram with a 5.7. Hoping that engine has a similar placement of the gauge. If the truck sits for more than a few hours turned off it is guaranteed the oil pressure gauge will be at zero and the check gauge light will be on the first time you start it. But, if you turn it off and start it up again it kicks in. Hoping a new gauge will fix the issue and hopefully fix the oil leaking as well!
I have a 5.7 2003 also and my gauge just usually does not move. If you replace yours. Let me know how it goes
Did the fix work for you. My truck has the exact same symptoms
Same problem I took her to the shop they replaced it and it’s still doing it. They assured me that the oil pressure is good.
Check for oil in the wiring. Most shops have no clue that is possible
Awesome! I'll try this replacement. Thanks!
Yes sir
Thanks great explanation and great job
Process of elimination: (please correct me if I'm wrong)
I have 04 "4.7" 320+k miles. Oil pressure holds steady until warmed up. then drops to -0- and then back up. Sort of continuous cycle while idling.
I've been having this problem for quite some time. Among many other things.
Did an engine flush, then new oil & filter. So now I'll move on to the next step. Process of elimination.
1. Clean / replace sending unit.
2. Clogged pickup tube.
3. Oil pump
4. Lower main bearings?
Thank Dave for putting time into these videos~~!
Probably the sending unit but with the mileage on it I would put a manual gauge on it and get an accurate reading. Don't forget to clean out the electrical connector for the sending unit.
You are on the right track but sometimes oil flushes can wash deposits to the pan and clog the pickup and then damage bearings.
@@HotRodDave Boy, I sure do like your optimism~! Thanks
@@HotRodDave Think I better do that second oil change like I planned & get that old pickup out of there then.
Just for practical info, I been turning wrenches since late 70's early 80's. But never too smart to learn something new.
I have the 4.7 operation just about nailed down as far as understanding how all the components work together. Amazing tech. for sure. But also a real pain at times.
Thanks so much.
Great video well done!!!
Thanks Chris.
Thanks Brother !!! Mines a 5.9 and I know the sensor is farther back ... just great info for the old school do it yourself if you can mechanic that I am 🤠
Thanks for watching and yes the 5.9 is on the back and a little harder to get to but works the same way
2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 got the same exact problem.
Hope this helps
Thanks. Going to try this next week on my 2007 2500. Mine is acting nearly identical to yours. I know it has oil and has pressure because the truck runs fine and it has shown 0 pressure for miles and miles lol I’d have thrown all the rods by this point if that gauge were right. Thanks!
Let us know
I put a new switch in. It was an easy install. Curiously, the socket wrench fit the new unit exactly, but was slightly too small for the OEM part.
What socket did you use for the OEM part? I’m having the same issue
My truck has started this, but only when at an idle. Runs perfect going down the road.
Yeah I just paid $9200 for a crate motor in my 02. Time for my second go around replacing this switch!
I wish they could make them better
I have 97 dodge ram 1500 with the same problem I think I know how fix it myself, thankyou so much for this video
Thanks for watching and I hope you will subscribe and like the videos.
Just got a 08 ram 5.7 and oil gauge is normal when idling then when driving iy drops to 0 and brings check gauges, and cel flashing. Keep getting oil temp sensor high and low code
My truck is ticking too but I keep asking mechanics n they say it’s common with the rams… idk how to fit it, but it’s also doing the gauge thing
outstanding thanks. 02 1500 5.9L same problem different location 5.9 is behind the throttle body and distributor.
Yes you are correct this can happen to any car make or model
Thank you for the video big help. But every now and then I get a pop up check Gage light. Then back to normal
It may have oil in the harness. I have seen loose connections at the back of the instrument cluster on some also.
That's funny what you said about the brake cleaner burning. It burns when I get it under my ring too. Maybe the skin under the ring is just more sensitive.
I guess you're right. Burns like hell lol 😆
I’ve changed my lifters, timing chain oil pump and rod bearings and I have just changed the oil pressure sensor and it still doing the same thing what else could cause this
Got an 07 Chrysler 300 clean , didn't change the oil like I did every 3 or 3.5 months. Suddenly the oil lite on changed sensor 2x and nothing still on, noticed the connector showed copper
*Issue figured out I just need to watch more of the video*
Mine does that same thing except it the pressure drops with the revs. For example at 35 mph and above oil pressure is normal but as I slow down and at lower speeds it drops to low and flashes "check gauges"
My 2007 ram 5.7 has been doing this of late. Just shy of 300k no leaks, no oil burning yet the guage will go up to high here and there. Good video
Thanks
Still trying to figure out what it is getting ready to turn 19 and is my first car I bought myself un like a lot of kids I know very upsetting drove it AutoZone drove find used the Computer hopefully did it right first time using it worker didn’t come out with me got a couple code but don’t think any of them would cause the gauge to do this
Mines a 5.7.. the oil pressure gauge drops and then goes back to the middle repeatedly. Same problem I assume?
Sounds like it
Thank you so much 💯% That was my problem...
Glad I could help don't forget to subscribe and like the videos. Thank You!
9/10 ×s it's the oil sending unit under fire wall back of motor behind or under the rotor bug &cap
i have an 04 just started doing it tonight after a hard rain getting a sending unit do not have eng noise as i did with my 01 when i changed the pump three times untile i got the highe volum pump it needed to have thanks
Great video. I replaced a 3.7 recently and it started doing this at idle after driving it for a week. Im definitely gonna replace that sending unit (used it off the old motor). Hopefully that fixes it.
could you give us more detail about the time someone mixed coolant? red and green because here recently ive done just that not realizing what might happen. I now cant get that vehicle to start. it'll crank but it won't catch for some reason. it seems like a fuel problem maybe vapor lock but im not too sure.
Some coolants you can mix but some you can't. It can cause problems with the aluminum parts and can gel depending on what you mixed together. I have not seen it cause a no start but any thing is possible I guess. Sounds like you have something different going on but I would flush all of that coolant out and start over with new coolant
Thank u I've Ben having the same issue with my 5.2
I hope it helps you. Thanks for watching.
This video was a big help on my 2004 ram!
What was the coolant leak?
I find i had identical issues
I never saw it drip again.
Good job..very helpful video.thank u
Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for watching.
Diagnostic said the the code related to the switch, replaced switch and drive truck for twos, let it sit two days. Drove it today and the check engine light back on. What else could it be. 2012 Dodge Ram 1500
What code is storing?
I'm having the same issue on my 09 Laramie 1500 5.7 hemi. When the light comes on , the engine shuts down. And starts back up with mo issue.. my oil pressure READS 66 KSI.
Sounds like you are having more issues than just a oil pressure sensor. The sensor will not cause it to stall.
Muy bueno grasias yo loise y mesir vio
My 4.7 is doing the same thing, I’m gonna change that and see if that helps.. I have a 02 dodge
When you take the connector off and see oil in the plug you will know that that is at least 1 of your problems and hopefully the only one
What do you use to clean the connector? My 2005 is doing something similar, except mine stays dead when off the gas. It starts when fully stopped, then progresses to go dead the moment I take my foot of the gas, to eventually not working at all until I let it sit for a while, usually takes about 30-60 minutes of driving before it initially starts. I'm going to be replacing mine as well.
@@sph7484 7:44 into the video I talk about it and at 10:05 I show you how I do it
I was a mechanic in the 70s and 80s and oil pressure switch was a common problem back then.
You would think they would have figured out how to make them by now . You are right a very common problem
Great video, question for you we have a 2005 Dodge truck we are holding onto for the granddaughter, it only has 95K on the mileage, it was her great grandfathers.. just yesterday when I came to a stop sign it triggered the check gauges and the oil gauge went to zero (also the RPM gauge isn’t working) once I started driving it corrected itself. It did this one more time about an hour later. We checked the oil it was approximately 1 1/2 quarts low so we put oil in I drove it to work this a/m same thing check gauges light as I came to a complete stop ... the dilemma is my daughter fears something more is going on because the RPM gauge is wonky thinking it’s going to be an expensive fix AND she thinks 95K is way too high for mileage (I’m thinking there’s a ton more miles to be had!) there are no engine clicks, ticks, or other issues it drives smooth no sluggishness or any issues otherwise. Her fear is engine issues or a situation where it runs well until it doesn’t Since she’s a single mom what should she expect in costs to have this done at a shop?
Some models have loose connections behind the instrument cluster that would cause the gauges to malfunction. I can't remember what years. I would check that and check the oil pressure sending unit and do a pressure test. these things are easy and shouldn't cost but a few hundred dollars at a shop. The cluster can be removed on some and the wiring connector can be moved from it's plastic holder to make a tighter fit when the cluster is reinstalled. About an hour labor for the cluster and another hour for the oil pressure sending unit with cleaning out the oil from the connection and another hour for a pressure test should cover it but there could be more and those things may not apply to yours at all. I hope this helps and I would want to keep it with only 95 K miles it should have a very long life left in it.
That truck hasn’t even been broke in. Your daughter is a spoiled brat. Your oil pressure problem will fixed by replacing the oil pressure sensor. $34 at the auto store. The rpm gauge could be have several fixes but rest assure it can be easily fixed.
When it read zero at operating temp did it ever go up to the middle when you gave it gas?
They can do all kinds of funny things when oil is in the connector or up the wire. That's why I say and stress you need to run a manual gauge test at that port to get a true reading to determine if you have a oil pressure problem or an electrical problem. I have had to cut several inches of wire out due to oil way up in the wire.
My dad's 2001 Dodge Ram recently did this when he was on his way home from work it freaked him out oil pressure was 0 but there didn't seem to be any tapping noises or anything so we ended up using it to pull our car up the hill the other week when it got stuck in the snow and it worked just fine so I believe this might be the problem
Give it a try
Mine just maxes out and sits there alot usually when just at idle
Hi Dave, Is it easier to replace the switch from underneath the vehicle as opposed to looking down on it from under the hood? I don’t have a lift available to use. Thanks!
You can slide under it and get ro it pretty easily
@@HotRodDave Thanks, Dave. I appreciate your quick response and tutelage. Heading out to replace mine now……
My 2002 ram 1500 is doing the same thing. I looked at the switch and it looks like it’s leaking from there and it’s covered in oil. Crossing my fingers this will work, ready dreading having to change the oil pump. I know you used brake cleaner to remove oil. Can I use electric cleaner also? Thanks
I don't know how well electric cleaner cuts oil. I never have used it
Mine is a 2500 with the 5.7, I'm having an issue to where my gauge is saying I don't have oil pressure and then I do. I put a new one of these on and it seemed to get worse. I've not been able to get ahold of my mechanic but he said I had something at the back of the motor block that had 2-3 wires attached to it and it controls my gauge but the parts stores can't seem to get a listing. Going down the road I have no knocks, loss of power and generally I am running great. Just the gauge keeps going off and on with the check gauges light dinging at me. Any information would be helpful if you could point me in the right direction.
All the info is in the video and in the comments, Test the oil pressure with a manual gauge to get a real reading first
Thank you!
hot rod dave im having issuses like the this in my 06 dodge ram mega cab 1500 5.7 think i could run it by you some time
Are you in Georgia?
Any info on a 06' ram 1500 rpm gauge not working while rest of cluster working fine?
You can hook some scan tools up and run tests on all the gauges. It's probable a bad gauge but you should find someone that can test it
I have this issue with my gauges and oil pressure dropping only whwn I stop while truck is running and only have slight oil leak at shut off about size of nickel on ground no coolant leak drives fine other than one other issue 02 sensor code (but it's stuck and can't get it off) any reason why this happens? Power steering failure?
Also one other issue when I'm low on fuel in tank it really sputters and jumps around through rpms like the transmission is slipping but once I put fuel above 40 DTE it runs great again.. (mostly while uphill). (New fuel pump filter)
2002 dodge ram 1500 4.7
Remanufactured engines less than 50k
Truck 212,000
I had this problem. Just changed oil so knew that was o.k. I thought I was low on water in my battery while doing my oil change. Weather got cold . Battery went bad. So check your battery. This could be the cause.
Im having the same problem. Except when i come to a complete stop it stays on low until i start moving again it goes back up. Also a very small ticking.
Any recommendations????
Run the manual test I talk about in the video and in these comments.
Question just got my power steering pump and a pressure hose replaced but now the oil pressure gauge is off and on. Any ideas
Check everything I talk about in this video.
Thanks I'll have to check mine the gauge was working fine then all the sudden dropped and would not come back up then motor started making a noise hasn't been started since haven't had time to mess with it but it was just rebuilt I hope nothing major
I hope not. Noise is not a good sign
@@HotRodDave I hope not either but think I'm just goin to order an aftermarket gauge and everything is new so idk
Mine does that only at operating temp and only at idle but when i give it gas or start moving the gauge works fine i have replaced it with an aftermarket its the sensor with the 1 wire still cant figure out yet
It maybe oil in the wire. Make sure you watch the whole video. I explained all the ways to test and repair for this issue.
my 2001 ram is doing this but when the gauge goes to zero something will start ticking until you turn the truck off and back on. do you know if it’s still this same thing
Probably not. You need to do a manual oil pressure test at the port that the sensor screws in
I've seen another mechanic use brake cleaner to remove oil off of parts. I just don't know how safe that is??
Every mechanic uses it . It's parts cleaner
My sensor is still fluctuating after the change in the sensor what you clean your plug with ?
Brake parts cleaner. I'm pretty sure I talked about it in the video lol
