Re: IML:1960 Oil Pressure

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

It is possible that they were all pegged at one time, and the Oil Pressure gauge is the only one left "working". I think they can burn out one at a time. There should be something in the archives about that.

I would recommend checking to oil pressure as mentioned before, and possibly checking the gauge cluster for other trouble.
