Oil Pressure Sender location on 5.7L EFI

[Ballistix]

Hi peeps, in my spring clean I've fixed one gauge but clearly knocker a wire or something else and the Oil guage is flicking and staying at around zero. Anyone please tell me where the sender is so that I can fiddle! 5.7L Efi Mercruiser.

Cheers!

Good, thanks for that.
Was gonna look.
Got a Binny up the drive with same eng.
It's peeing down so that's saved me a drenching!

It won't start.
The power steering pumps knackered.
The owner wants to go afloat Thursday.
Looks like tommorow will be busy.

PM Me your postcode please
Case I need some bits /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If youve got a efi engine it might be worth your while investing in one of these

The Software version for a laptop looks better for me. You know if it can be sourced in the UK?

Ash1. I've just purchased the Diacom PC version. Express from the states, given I'm going to service my boat for a bit from now on it'll be a valuable addition. Anyone near HYS Universal want their engine stats checked feel free to buy me a beer and we'll plug it in /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Looks like you will be having hours of pleasure, tinkering,and you will probably find that you have a lot of new friends who want there engine hours checking,By having my scan tool i found out that my engine was not original,the hour meter showed 250hrs,when i plugged the meter in it was showin 139hrs so after a little investigation and checking original bill of sale it turned out it was re-engined in about 2002,
They are a usefull bit of kit,
Have fun

Have you ordered all the differant leads,they seem to cover quite a few differant makes of engine, not just mercs,
you will soon recover that,the first time you have a problem,our marina didnt have any diagnostics for mercs,thats why i bought it,when my fuel pump broke but still ran,i saved the 1hr min.they would have charged me for diagnosing the problem
In the overall scale off boating costs £400 aint that bad

yep. Apparently the leads are coming to sort both merc and volvo up to 2004?
