Where is it found on the 4.0L, i think mine is going bad since I have been getting high readings, but what else could cause high readings?

its on part that you screw your oil fitler onto... its that plasic cylinder looking thing right behind the distributer (I think)

High readings all the time? It's been getting cooler lately, and sometimes when the oil is cold it will cause higher pressure readings. Something to think about.

Ya it has been really cold lately, but Im not sure it almost pegs out at times I think I need to check a few things out tomorrow when I get the chance.

It hasn't been bursting filters or anything has it?

IIRC it's at the base of the distibutor.

So after paying a little more attention to it, the oil pressure only gets really high when accelerating, when idling its fairly normal, any thoughts on this?

That's pretty much the way it should be ;)



You didn't put too much oil in it did you?

No not too much oil and when I say high we are talking at the top mark (never used to do this)
