Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the Mustang scene; having bought a 1998 GT Convertible back in March of this year. I'm a Ford man from quite a ways back...a '63 1/2 Galaxie Fastback was my second car...

I have always had a fair amount of respect for Ford Products and I like the 'Stang and all...but I can't help but notice that the oil pressure guage **NEVER** moves! On start-up it flicks up just past mid-scale...right over the "M" in Normal that'printd on the guage face. Then; it just **SITS THERE**...at idle...at 80 MPH...hot or cold...it never seems to budge. I've become convinced that it's essentially an idiot light sender wired to a guage pointer...and not really a guage.

Is mine different from yours or what?

Thanks for reading...Rusty12
