The CEL is coming on in my 97 gt-40. I knew it was either the temp switch or the pressure switch. I unhooked the oil pressure sender(the bigger one, with the blue wire), The CEL didn't come back on and the oil pressure gauge stopped working. I should have disconnected the oil pressure switch though. Why did the CEL stop lighting when I unhooked the wrong sensor? My thoughts, 1. I need a new switch 2. could the problem stem from running shell rotella T as opposed to straight 40w(lower oil pressures) 3. oil level might be a bit high Did I read somewhere there is a lower pressure switch that may better suit my situation since Im running multi viscosity oil now? thanks Shawn |

I suggest installing a pressure gauge to get the true oil pressure. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I doubt it's the oil type. Many have run the rotella including myself without issue. ------------- 2004 196 LE Ski 1969 Marauder 19 1978 Ski |

The oil pressure gauge sender and the CEL switch are 2 separate entities on the GT40. It is actually has a different acronym SLOW   Speed Limiting Operational Warning  ------------- If you're going through hell, keep going http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2999" rel="nofollow - 89 Ski <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5685" ta |
