Not sure why you got new probs with a CEL and the oil light failing. All I did for mine was simply remove the oil sending unit from the head, put the t in, then screw both the mech. gauge and oem oil sending unit into the t and that was it. Everything worked and has been working flawlessly ever since. Oh yeah, I did un-hook my battery during the process just to be on the 'safe side'.

I think there might be some dirt on the threads im gonna try an check the cell an go from there it might be worth your time to clean the threads try ot fix what you think the problem might be and just clear the cel and see if it comes back. instead of taking hours to figure out how to check it in the first place. --------------------  |
