Bouncing Oil Gauge

My oil Gauge bounces from time to time any ideas what can be causing this.

Re: Bouncing Oil Gauge

It will either be behind the Intake manifold, or right above your oil filter.It will look similar to an o2 sensor.Mine was having the same problems.Put a new oil sending unit in, and haven't had any problems.Easiest way for me to get it off was cut it close to the base, get a swivel head ratchet, and a 30mm socket and take it off.The sockets they make for them wouldn't go around the new/old one.

Hope this helps.

I cant remember what any of the parts are called but if you go to like thirdgen.com and *** they mention that problem and it says that you need to oil something that connect to the guage since its a mech.

Yea, it is a mechanical oil sending unit.You will need to buy an oil sending unit.any parts store should have one in stock.I would try and get a Delco/Delphi one if it was me.
