have a constant single beep alarm going off once I hit about 2000 rpm and power drops down to 10%. received my scan tool today and it shows me this is due to low oil pressure, which the scan tool shows at 3.1 psi.
my dash gauge always shows between 38 to 40 psi. which one do I believe? I know the water temp sensor is one that seems to be giving many merc owners false readings (bad sensor) but is this the case with the oil sensor?
If I did have that low of a pressure wouldn't I also be overheating? my temp stays at a constant 170. could a quart low cause this?
If I disconnect the sensor I get no alarm so before I purchase new sensor Im wondering if there is a good way to test this one. scan tool says it test sensors but I can not see how.
would anyone know the part # of the oil pressure sensor?
and what size socket to remove this one. very tight space. can only feel it.
