GOT IT! 140-160

I first thought it was a plugged screen as well, because it originally started blinking, but then it was off next time i started the car, so i thought that whatever was blocking the screen fell off when i turned it off. But then it started up again when i next started the car.

Anyways, it turned out that I had somehow hooked up a different black wire that was in that area to the pressure sender... How the heck that happened I have no clue... I didn't look long and hard enough last time i looked at the wiring i guess,(DOH, and now i feel like an idiot coming here and crying because i was scared...) i was kinda rushed and freaking out, but it's all good. I don't have a clue where the other wire is supposed to go or if it ever went anywhere though... But the car is running great still and the light is NOT on. Good deal, thanks for the ideas!

And about that possible blockage of the screen.... How can I avoid that? Probably just by changing the oil? I guess now would be a decent time, get whatever has been loosened out of there already and drain it out the bottom. There's not much else i can do to prevent it though, but it hasn't happened yet so i'm glad. Currently at 443 miles and counting...

Peace!
