I just cleaned my throttle body with carb cleaner spray. Obviously there's a whole lot of liquid in the intake after that that has to burn off. I got her started and I was hard to keep her running (expected) I just held the rpms at about 1500-2000 for a few seconds, then it idled. I noticed an odd noise, so I got my screwdriver and held it up to my ear, and I got the noise the loudest from the injectors. It's an odd noise, almost like the noise a power washer makes, it's the loudest from injector 1, and even louder on the intake manifold it's attached too. I also ran out of gas yesterday (in my driveway) just playing around with it and checking out my new tune up . I got some old gas from my shed, and I put some dry gas in it (stabl if you call it that) (the red one in the clear bottle. Then I noticed my oil pressure gauge was a little more jumpy than usual. The pictures attached show it was warmed up, idling, and you can see the oil pressure... It went even higher at one point (about 3 o clock on the gauge) but that was before I thought to take a picture. Bad sender? I've been thinking it was bad for a while now because it was kinda jumpy, and my oil pressure seemed a bit too high. I just changed my oil a few days ago and put in 10w-30 pennzoil.
Thanks

 

Any ideas?

 

If its pegged like that, probably sender unit.

 

Yep. Probably smacked it doing the filter change.

 

yep sender unit, also those wires are kind of finicky. take some brake cleaner and a rag and clean it off and a pair of channel locks to loosen it clean it out and then throw it back on. fixed mine until i could get a mechanical.

 

Don't trust the gauge. Verify oil pressure with a mechanical gauge.

 

It's really not "pegged" it still moves, but it seems too far forwards... When you unscrew the sender doesn't oil pour out? Will carb cleaner work?
