what can be wrong with my my 88 p/u chevy 1500 the oil gauge goes up and down when
idling and then dies? please any good help will be apreciated thanks
the truck dies out.And its a 350 5.7L 4X4 the idle is rough when shifting through the gears.Thanks.
If it's rough shifting through the gears, then it sounds like it's time for a tune up. Replace the plugs, wires, cap, Rotor, Fuel filter, and this should resolve most of the problems. You may also want to run some injector cleaner through it. If the gauge continues to bounce around, this is a sign of a bad pump or worn bearing in the motor. At which time, you need to have the motor rebuilt or replaced.
The gauge dies or the vehicle dies? If the vehicle dies, what are the other symptoms? Rough idle? Low idle? What engine does the vehicle? If the gauge dies, then I agree with PP - check the sending unit. If the sending unit is good, check the gauge itself and the wiring.
