That's why they stopped (for the most part) spraying used oil as an undercoating on cars. If it is malfunctioning, that means the engine needs to 'guess' the value that this sensor is responsible for.

It is a possiblility that because this code is present, this sensor is malfunctioning. The Code you refer to is P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit malfunction (PRNDL Input).

(and is probably even less total cost).įrequent oil changes reduce sludge buildup and even help wash it away. I believe cheap oil changed every 3k miles is way better than expensive synthetic oil changed every 7.5k miles. It's the used oil that is dangerous and can cause cancer with long term exposure. we are limited to 4 gallons because it is considered toxic waste and special permits (hazmat) are required to transport more than that. Here in Canada, I can completely fill my car with new oil. One thing people don't seem to consider with engine oil is the corrosive acids that are created and stored in the oil. If you notice an oil leak around the sensor or inside it, your sensor is damaged and needs replacing.

Since your oil pressure sensor is seated in the oil system, oil sometimes leaks from the sensor’s threads or through its center. In general this car served us well and it seems like it should have many more years of reliable service (once I get the Timing belt done and change the shocks). Oil may leak from a faulty oil pressure sensor when your engine is idling. The infamous rust over the front wheel strut tower seems limited to the metal ring so far (no corrosion on the paint/surrounding area).

So far, I have a small rust spot on the driver side rear wheel well (which I will be fixing soon). I'm thinking about putting tints on it and painting wheels black + putting in the 12" sub + amp. I change oil myself every 5k and did Transmission fluid change about a year ago. Other item was minimal, Intake Boot.that's about it. I'm pretty sure radiator was at that age anyways. Other minor issue was I let the belts go too long (had them but didn't put them on) and they broke.car started to overheat but turned it off in time etc.too much pressure for radiator/popped a hole.so I ended up replacing that (self inflicted pain). I also have to replace front shocks as the car is becoming VERY bouncy and rough on the bumps (no biggie, maintenance item at this age/mileage). I just got new Tires for her and I'm about to do Timing Belt/Waterpump etc change. Just wanted to get an idea how much more life this car has in it and other people's experiences.

It's been reliable and we are very happy with it. Trending Questions How would you stop the grinding when shifting into fifth gear of a 1996 Honda Accord Ex?
