Need help understanding oil pressure sensor.
When I cold start my TJ (99 4.0l), the oil pressure reads 40. Once warm, the pressure drops down and is based on RPM... 2k RPM = 20. My worry is that at idle, the pressure Guage will, occasionally, drop so low that the check engine light will illuminate. Increase RPM and needle rises accordingly. Oil is at correct level (5w-30.. cold here).
Do I replace the sensor? Something odd going on.
Thanks
