Click here if you have an Autometer oil temperature gauge installed in your Integra.
Here's the setup:
Golden Eagle oil block adapter and Fast-turbo.com oil sender relocation kit.
I have a Brass tee fitting with an oil pressure sender, oil temperature sender and a stainless steel line running to the bottom of the tee.
The problem is the oil temperature gauge pegs (needle reads max temp) when I wire it to the ignition switch. The sender should have been grounded when I installed it into the tee. I have checked all connections to the gauge and grounded the gauge directly to the chassis to no avail. The oil pressure gauge works good and reads 75psi at 3100 rpms, 20 psi at idle. Which is accurate I think. :thinking:
The oil pressure may read lower because I'm running a line to an oil block adapter.
I have a bad oil temperature sender maybe!

Does it also read max if you wire it to 12v direct, or switched 12v? Sounds like you may have a bad sender.

I don't know, I've only tried to tap into the yellow/black ignition wire.
On a side note, I did notice that when I uninstall the oil temperature sender from the bracket, it doesn't peg. The oil temperature doesn't rise though according to the gauge when the car has been running no matter how it's wired or installed.
