RE: [T3] Oil sensor


	I dont trust my oil sensor. 

	>>>Don't.  You'll see why below...

	I'll just never get this car tuned up right with these damn baffling
Webers

	>>>Jim A has at least one spare FI setup that *I've* heard of 8^)

	The engine must have to be bone dry before it goes on otherwise.

	On American cars the general rating is 2-7 psi before the light will
come one; a basically useless device, IMHO.  By the time you've only got
2psi, you're hosed.

	Is there any way to test the sensor

	>>>Dunno.
	but should the oil be dropping like this? 

	>>>Deathrich is just about to the 'chainsaw' level of oil/fuel
usage, so I know this one well.  The answer is, no.  You're leaking or
burning or both this oil.  Check the bottom for drips, park over a cardboard
box to see where they fall, and try and attack that route first.  Excessive
oil use can be as bad as rings, but it could be as simple as valve cover
gaskets.
