I just recently did the oil change(this month, 4 quarts) so I know it's not a lack of oil. What's your opinion on that? And where do you believe is a good shop/retailer that I can get a good oil pressure gauge installed? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: IAT plug? Where is that located? Thanks.
IAT will be located on the back of the stock gsr intake manifold.
Red/Green wires running into the plug.
IACV is yellow-black/blue-black (If I remember correctly)
If your iat sensor is melted or damaged, the car won't throw a code 1/2 of the time. This will cause extra fuel or less fuel to be injected due to false IAT reports. The way to check if your iat sensor is bad would be to simply look at the tip of the sensor. If it is melted it is bad. You can also ohm out the sensor per the helms manual specs.
An oil pressure gauge setup can be installed or bought at almost any parts store. Go visit Lenard at GearHead performance in dunedin florida. He has a nice selection of oil pressure gauges to choose from & has great customer service.
Concerning where to get it installed, check the shop directory.
Good Luck.
