Oil pressure gauge flashing

[Robep82]

My oil pressure gauge stepper motor is flashing and no pressure atall what could this be

[SpikeyJp_68]

Oil pump ?

[Ollieh17]

Most likely a sensor fault if its flickering. Whats the standard oil pressure light doing?

Stepper motor is that prosport gauge I take it 👍🏻

[fiddlersport]

Does the factory light go out ?

[Robep82]

Well ive just done a oil change and filter and its still flashing and reading 0 on the car dash theres no engine light or anything. So surely if there was a problem there would be something on the dash ? Aparrently theyre trisco gauges

[patman]

On the speedo cluster with ignition on (not engine running) your see the red engine light, if that goes out when engine goes on, that's a relief there, how have you got the oil pressure line hook up, with a sandwich plate?

[Robep82]

Hi mate yes the engine light goes out its setup with a sandwich plate but im also get smoke coming out of the catch tank

[EP70-PT]

smoke out the catch tank is normal as that smoke normally goes to your intake in the OEM setup, if the light goes out then it's no engine problem, I'd check the sensor on the sandwich plate and try another one before assuming it's the gauge.

Let us know what you get

Smoke out the catch can is not normal

[EP70-PT]

I had smoke/vapour through my breather filter, it is on cold days

[patman]

Smoke out the catch can is not normal

Think he means like light vapour smoke, not thick heavy smoke

[Ollieh17]

Shouldn't really be anything visible

Smoke out of the catch can has nothing to do with your oil pressure gauge not working.

Remove all the wiring for the gauge and inspect it, you'll find something. A bit of oil vapor out of the catch can would be the least of your worries, if your oil pressure gauge is to be believed.
