Oil Light Back!!! Tempature going up WTF?

[cvc7chris]

This only happens on long trips i drove from roanoke to martinsville and it didn't happen on the highway..but there was a traffic hold up and i had to stop the car..so the light was like kinda wanting to blink but it wasn't steady..
only in neutral...but when in gear etc..it's fine

also the temperature goes up ALOT idk what's wrong the radiator is filled..

im going to drive it tonight for about 20 mins after i re-check all the fluids and shit..

i'll update tonight thanks

Just swap in a H22

Oil Pressure sensor is faulty. For the temp , check for leaks somewhere , even to the slightest leak it will go up.. Or could be yout temp sensor is faulty also. Also the thermostat.

all this temperature issue biznass and the condenser fan and rad fan both work?

[HOT1AZCB]

im thinkin thermostat and oil pressure sensor

[cvc7chris]

the rad fan works because i hear it at times

probably some sensor

but yeah

it does turn on after i shut off the vehicle for a little bit
idk why though
maybe to cool it down

Have you checked your oil lately?

Your oil pump may also be failing. Oil provides around 20% of your car's total cooling.

[cvc7chris]

oil is at normal level

maybe the pump is that costly?

Hey it's your thermostat it is getting stuck and it needs to be replaced,, I went through it about 2 months ago.. give it a try.

[cvc7chris]

how much was it?

and the car get damage if i drive it like this?

[cvc7chris]

okay i checked the coolant level in the radiator and it needed some...
but yeah i see the problem now
the coolant reservior is not passing the coolant through because you know
what the hose from the reservoir hooks up the radiator..near the cap

it's cracked and coolant spills out the little plastic thing

i think since it's not passing coolant it's using up alot of coolant in the radiator
and makes it overheat? an that's probaly why the oil light wanted to blink right?

opinions?

[owequitit]

It might be coolant related. But that doesn't explain the oil pressure light.

You have to assume the light is working correctly until proven otherwise, otherwise you are probably going to lose the engine at some point.

[cvc7chris]

yea it barely came on i mean wanted to come on but it faded away

and it wasn't steady though

but if i pressed the gas in neutral it went away

idk what's wrong with it

Try to get a new oil pressure sensor

[gibbsrcing]

you should definetly get a new pressure sending unit. they are not that expensive. also check your thermostat for sticking that may cause the overheating at idle. those are fairly inexpensive too. if the pressure sending unit doesnt fix the oil light it may be the oil pump. not so cheap. always try the cheap and easy stuff first.
