oil pressure high?

[Ketch89Reatta]

I've occasionally caught my 89 Reatta oil pressure gage displaying numbers in the 200-230 pound range. My God! That's a lot of pressure. If the engine blows I'll probly take half the city with me.

You have got to do this if you have an 89 or 88 . . .

Turn ignition to the run position . . .

Enter gauges and read your oil pressure <span style="font-weight: bold">without the engine running. </span>

Replace your faulty oil pressure sensor.

Look back about a year ago for a discussion of this. Bottom line is that GM issued a TSB around 1990 on the stock oil pressure sensor being faulty and to replace with a new improved one. If yours is all silver and has a neck between the wrench flats and the body, it is original.

The new one has a black plastic body and no neck and snaps off instantly if your wrench slips.
