    Noob anxious about oil pressure!

    Hello, gang. I've just finished my Miata/GTO LS2 swap and I'm afraid that I don't have any oil pressure! Well, thats what happens when I do as follows:



    Is this the only way to view oil pressure via HPTuners? Is it not showing because the text is not in blue? If so, why?

    I've searched a LOT, and I know that the F body LS1 did not have oil pressure in the VCM, but I should have it I think. Thanks in advance!

    you need to have the oil pressure pid in the table display for it to work.

    And if that doesn't work....change the sensor.
    Mine got damaged during my swap and was not working even when my table was correct. Needless to say I had a little scare when I started mine for the first time.
    A little peace of mind cost about $65.

    Lmao, you know that if you screw up an oil pressure sensor on the true Gen IV stuff(like get one to short circuit by cracking the base), that they'll go into REP mode? Anytime you clear the REP code it kills the power to the coils as well unless you either unplug or replace the sensor. Found that one out the hard way. :P
