It's not a lot of smoke, but it smokes on startup and smells like something is burning and then a few seconds later it'll stop. I'm just going to line it up in the hole. Now, we're taking the last one out. Generally, these will clog up with debris. Familiar with the symptom and solution, the technician replaces the oil pressure sensor and a filter screen positioned beneath the sensor, which eliminates the low oil pressure message. I changed the filter tonight and it improved, but the pressure isn't as high as it should be.
Okay, and before I put the intake back on, what I want to do is I want to clean the area around where the intake ports are. Once loosened, the switch comes out easily by hand. You have changed oil filters etc. Hopefully, that's it, if not the next part will be that damn oring. One of my symptoms that puzzles me is that the gauge a mechanical one for now bounces around. My truck is also a 2009 5. I was also wondering what screen got replaced? This is the three-eights size.
All right, so we have our hood removed just for the sake of the video, but you don't have to remove the hood to do this. On interstates, it will go up to about 57lbs. Seems to have fixed problem. . See, that releases, and we're going to do that for the rest of these, and then we'll do it on the other side. There's a little lock right here. You're going to lift up on the backside of the lock like that, and then pull it forward, so just like that, just set that aside.
We are going to remove these eight-millimeter bolts that hold the intake on and use an eight-millimeter socket, an extension, and a ratchet. Now, I'm going to start snugging these down a little bit with the eight-millimeter socket and an extension just by hand, just go around the whole intake and just snug them up before we torque them. Prior to that occurrence, the vehicle was facing front down on a driveway which rarely happens. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance!! They told me they would have to replace my oil pressure switch. I'm going to take this hose and feed it through here. Put this wire on here, and then reinstall the nut.
I use the truck to haul steel and really don't want to get rid of it but I don't want to throw money away. I changed the oil, pressure came up, and it operated as it should. Pull that nut off, and then we can pull the wire out. Once oil pressure builds up it goes away, but it seem that it takes the pressure a little longer to build than usual. I have the same problem.
He had indicated the screen issue when he was looking up the symptoms. Saturday cel came on said oil senior high pressure. Hello, I'm new to this forum. It's tough but you can just barely fit your hand back there. When you kill the engine those little chunks of crap will fall off the screen and you've got pressure back.
It should loosen it up. Once you start hearing the tap you are doing damage to the lifters not to mention the rest or the motor If you do not have the ability to determine beyond a doubt that oil is really flowing take it to someone who can or you are going to toast your motor. So unless you're changing your oil filter at every stoplight, buy a good one. Considering that, how much is really being saved in car maintenance? Oil pressure fluctuates from 20-45 with no rhyme or reason. What we need to do under here is a little retainer that's holding this coolant, upper radiator hose on, so just push that down you can use a trim tool if you need to, and then over here, there's a little hose that connects this to the upper valve cover, so we'll just pop that off right there. We did take all the bolts out of the intake.
Once you have them loose they do not come out the just get really loose tilt the screw towards the outside of the truck and pull out. The lifters in them are not cheap and getting to them are another issue. I'll just take them up by hand first. You just push that lock, and then pull on the hose up. Oil looked beyond perfect, it passed with new spec. Then we can install the bolts.
