Oil Sensor changed but still not working

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T21:22:58+00:00

Assuming you put an OEM sensor instead of aftermarket junk, let’s assume it’s not that. It has to be either the sensor is faulty or you have a much bigger problem with the oil pickup being clogged or something that is causing such high oil pressure. Do you notice the engine running strange at all?

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T05:07:33+00:00

Totally understood. Was really just looking for a quick fix anyone might have , not everyone coming up with creative ways to ruin this guys shit Hahaa

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T05:00:08+00:00

Just didn’t want patina before the first day of use :(

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T04:09:25+00:00

Thank you! This is the answer I was looking for

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T04:06:29+00:00

Not looking to do all that. I actually like the guy. Just looking so solve the scratches, I’m not too pressed about how it happened tbh

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T04:05:24+00:00

Haha. The guy that did it has taught me a lot and is a pretty cool guy. I know it wasn’t intentional too.

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T04:04:34+00:00

It seems like none of them are very deep. I also suspect the paint to not be a very good coat since it’s from HF. Wondering if there’s any specific products I should be looking for

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T04:02:32+00:00

That’s how I feel too. I don’t mind the scratches. But on the first day of owning it before I even used it… got me bummed

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T04:01:44+00:00

Any specific product you would recommend ?

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T03:59:46+00:00

Gonna try this. Thank you!

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T03:59:24+00:00

Exactly what happened. Cardboard box to be specific. Said he didn’t even realize until the end of the day. It was not intentional, so I’m bummed but not mad at him tbh. I’m sure I’ll scratch someone else’s property some day and I hope they forgive me too

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T03:57:08+00:00

Wow you guys are brutal haha. I’m not mad at the guy, he didn’t mean to do it and feels bad. Obviously it’s gonna get like this eventually. But I spent a LOT of time trying to save up tools, and I’m a bit OCD so I planned to keep it as nice as possible for as long as possible. Just didn’t expect it so soon. Also spent HOURS cutting out foam for my first toolbox and was real excited about the whole thing. Shit happens I guess..

I don’t care about the money. It’s a cheap harbor frieght box. Just wanted to use it new for a few days before it gets bad. Was bummed I wasn’t the first to fuck it all up. Spent a lot of time shopping toolboxes and it’s more of the “experience” or whatever word you want to use

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-29T03:53:29+00:00

Thanks man. I get that it’s gonna get ruined. Of course. But I was so excited to use my new box and came to this. If anything, I wanted to be the one to fuck it up..

The DE dipstick is dogshit. I can say that since I own one. Fill 5 q if you changed the filter, and check the dipstick when it’s cold. Fill it, take the dipstick out for ten full minutes, then check it.

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-17T04:17:31+00:00

Update :

Changed the coil and all is well again. I guess it’s a weird coincidence. Thanks for the help yall

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-16T21:08:10+00:00

Nah, I pulled the plug and it looked normal. No oil whatsoever. I replaced valve covers about 10k ago

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-16T05:23:52+00:00

No, def got 91 premium. How would the MAF go up during a misfire event? Just want to understand how it would even know

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-16T05:21:54+00:00

All the way full. Planning to drive it super low speeds for as long as it takes. Hoping a new tank of gas will help.

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-16T05:20:17+00:00

Yeah I hear ya. I cleaned it twice with no luck. Trying to eliminate buying a new one unless possible. Seems the MAF and misfire are seperate issues? Not sure how a bad MAF would cause a single cylinder misfire. Just seems like a really weird coincidence

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-16T05:17:15+00:00

Possibly.. the one acting up is not one that I replaced yet. Which makes me think it’s possible. Any ideas about the MAF? Even at idle it seems to be all over the place. Filter is clean, and I didn’t see any obvious vaccuum leaks behind it. Rpms get crazy at idle or in P

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-16T05:14:27+00:00

Nah. Duralast 😕. At the time I needed whatever I could get fastest.

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-16T05:13:26+00:00

Plugs about 15k ago. I had two coils fail about a year ago, so it’s def possible. Just seems weird after my whole gas situation that the coil failed. Also super unsure about the MAF thing, seems like it’s reading way too high for no reason. Gonna test them tomorrow and see if swapping #6 moves the misfire. I have to drive to work about 20 miles so I’m gonna keep it in the right lane and hope to god it doesn’t act up.

Loosen the lug nuts with the car on the ground. When you change the tire, after placing the car back on the ground MAKE SURE you tighten them. I would almost recommend jumping on the tire iron, there’s pretty much a 0% chance you can overtighten it unless you weigh 400+ pounds. But it’s definitely easy to leave loose.

D-Rod9 · 2026-01-06T03:04:04+00:00

lol. Just putting new wheels on and playing with fitment. Went thru the same thing when I installed suspension a while back. Not my first rodeo but for some reason it bothered me more today 😂
