oil pressure

[rabbit16v@prodigy.net (Dave Ewing)]

That is where my sender is and I haven't had any problems with it!  If your
alarm is sounding when you first start the car then it sounds like the
control unit may be questionable or you are using too heavy oil OR it is
just COLD up there!!  Either way, probably not a problem since your oil
pressure system is designed to sense pressure that's too high or too low.  I
don't know how to tweak the control unit but maybe there is an adjustment on
there somewhere or you have a bad connection somewhere.  HTH!!
