On my 3.2 '89 carrera the oil level gauge is completely erratic. I cleaned the terminals and this did not work. I replaced the sensor from within the oil tank and this hasnt made a difference. I then replaced the female connectors on the ground and sensor lead. This hasn't made a difference. Lastly, i routed another ground lead from the intake runner grounding point and this didn't work.
The gauge becomes erratic after about 5 mins or so, only when the oil is warm. When cold there is no reading. When i bury the accelerator it also becomes erratic. I haven't a clue whats wrong...any ideas!!!
For info, the new cork seal is so thick the actual metal sensor does not touch the oil tank because of th width of the new cork seal. Could tis mean the sensor isn't grounded properly thus causing this erratic level on the gauge. Oh yes, and of course ive checked it at dipstick level with engine warm and running; and it reads just under 3/4 full. Any ideas plse!!!! cheers
