Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / October 2003EF Fairmont High Oil Pressure
Folks, I've just bought an EF Fairmont which runs perfectly however I've only now noticed that the oil pressure guage is always at maximum while the engine is running, even at idle. Could it be something as simple as a dicky oil pressure sender or am I looking at something more serious ??? > Folks, > > I've just bought an EF Fairmont which runs perfectly however I've only > now noticed that the oil pressure guage is always at maximum while the > engine is running, even at idle.

You will probably find the oil pressure switch sender wire has either come-off the sender and is touching the block, or there is an earth (ground) getting onto the OP sender line to the gauge. Jason Sounds like the guage is stuck, tak eit off and clean and check for green sludge around the engine connection, a sign it was parked under trees or such, same thing happened to my EA. Pretty simple thing to clean.
