SOME PEOPLE SKIP THE "TEST" AND JUST STICK ON THE SENDER TO SEE IF THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM....IT'S A LESS THAN $20 SHOT, MIGHT SAVE YOU A BUNDLE

IF YOU DID IT "MY WAY"--A MANUAL--A GAUGE--A SENDING UNIT...MIGHT ALL RUN YOU $75 OR LESS

YOU WOULD KNOW EXACT PRESSURE IN "PSI" (NOT IN GLOWING RED LIGHT), THIS MIGHT GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND WITH YOUR ENGINES HEALTH---YOU'D OWN A TOOL AND HAVE A REFERENCE FOR LATER ISSUES THAT MIGHT POP UP WITH YOUR RIG
