oil pressure switch on 2001 corvette need some info and help I just bought this 2001 corvette and the oil pressure guage pegs 80 as soon as you turn the key on. The digital read out shows like 130lbs. So I changed the oil pressure switch and it work right until the next time I turned the car on and now its does the smae thing again. The car also has a p1336 code for cranks position sensor needs to be relearned so I swapped the crank pos sensor also but I still have to do the case relearn. Would this have any thing to do with the oil pressure pegging out before the car is even running? I also noticed every time you turn the key on the guages all go to max and then back is this normal on a vette?

Oil sending unit are famous for going out, and yes the gauges peg out and go back every time you start. Go over to corvetteforum.com and to a search and you'll get all the reading you want on the oil sending unit.

Why do the oil sending units go bad on these cars so much? When I bought mine I looked at several and like a third of them had the same problem. I have had several fbody ls1 cars and never had a bad oil sending unit.
