SES light and oil pressure gauge spike
so the SES light in my 87 IROC will come on and my oil pressure guage will spike but nothing happens to the car, everything seems fine and it only comes on occasionally. would my gauge just be malfunctioning?

Re: SES light and oil pressure gauge spike
It could be your voltage that is spiking. What code is getting stored in the ECM?

Re: SES light and oil pressure gauge spike
Im in alaska right now and my dad was driving the car when he was there and thats what he said it was doing and so i was gonna take a look at it when i got back down there, but i do not know what the codes are that are getting stored. I forget but how can i get OBD1 chevys to flash their trouble codes?
