Hi,
From the very beginning of wiring in the oil pressure gauge and sender, when ever the ignition is turned on the gauge just goes right to the top. Even
if i take the connectors off the sender, no change...
anyone else had this problem or know what i might have done wrong?
few tips?
Make sure the body of the sender / engine block has a good earth.
Test your sender wire with a continuity tester.
are you using the correct sender i.e. the one that came with the gauge.
Mine was a VDO one that was doing the same thought it was a broken wire but turned out to be a duff sender.

Had exactly the same problem on mine - ETB gauges and sender for a 4AGE - ordered a new sender and hey presto - it now works!!!
where did you order the new sender from?
I'm assuming you've got the gauges from Luego so they are the ETB ones- mine are and I ordered a replacement sender from ETB - just be careful when you connect it up (check the wiring is the right way round with a meter first)......
could wiring it up wrong b*gger the sender up then?
Well - when I connected up the two wires to the sender - I didn't check first which was which - so as to whether it buggered the sender or whether the sender was duff - I'm none the wiser - I do know though that as soon as it was replaced and the wiring checked before it was connected - the pressure gauge now works a treat!
