Was: Coolant LED Flashing? OIL BUZZER!?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Hrm, swell. It hasn't happened in a little while and I've been religiously checking the oil. No loss there. It happened when I would get the revs up there for a short bit. It would start and just not go off. If I turned off the car, it would start up again when I turned the car back on. Hasn't done it in a couple of weeks though and I've gotten on it a few times since then. Occasionally the light flashes on around tight turns at speed, but that's because I don't have a baffle in the pan I'd imagine. If it turns out to be the oil pump, then I'll probably just tell the car to go f%&k itself and drive it till it blows. Actually, now that I think of it, it hasn't gone off since I cleaned the breather on the valve cover and changed the oil. Maybe the filter had some nasty bits clogging it or something... Thanks for the heads up though.

I'm sure it's been checked but have you cleaned the connection to the
bottle? Also, if you plug it in backwards or if it lose, it'll set off
the light. At least it's not as annoying as my oil light, which up until
recently would go off randomly and make that horrible buzzing noise,
constantly. Had I committed a crime at the time, I think I could have
easily pled temporary insanity. Good luck!

The insulators over the spade connectors were fine. The sensor must
have failed. I will do a little more troubleshooting with Bentley and
an ohm meter. Thanks for the tip, it made me check all the wires near
the fuel lines to see it there was any worn insulation elsewhere.

Check the two braided fuel lines that run to your control preasure
regulator, they run right by your collant temp sensor on the front of
the block if the spade terminal has lost it's little plastic protector
those lines may touch the connector, grounding the sensor signal and
causing the light to stay on.

My 8v did this shortly after I bought it.

The led on the coolant temperature gauge on my 8v started flashing and
won't turn off. It flashed during startup and continued to flash as the
temperature rose to normal. Water level looks fine as well as
everything else. Any ideas?
Thanks, Rick Kellner.
