Faulty oil pressure sending units, any input?

[Steve2000GT]

I was searcing on google and come across this. Exact thing my oil pressure gauge seems to do. On cold start ups will drop to 0 and then jump right back up to normal, and will do this a few times. Will only do it in the morning, never throughout the day. Thinking it could be this. Any experience / input ? Going to go to Ford and pick up this part 1U5Z-9278-DA which I guess is the revised oil pressure sending unit. I have a 2000 GT

Lots of views no reply's? :sticktonge: Thought maybe some of you guys have heard of this or had to go through the same situation. Regardless just trying to build my knowledge on these mod motors. Former fox guy! :yes:

2 of the links above do not work.

Hmm, they used to work. Oh well. Middle link works, scroll down about half way. There are more links I found with the same type of information.

Happens to me all the time. Was worried when I first saw it. As far as I know it is a 2V specific problem steming from 99-03, or 04.

ya i replaced the sending unit ( took about 5 mins ) with a new one from checkers, works perfectly fine now!

My car - 00 Gt has done it since I have owned it - as long as you know that you have oil you are ok. Since it is an electric gauge, it only takes around 5-11 psi to make that gauge read normal.

i have seen cars with oil in them, and a bad oil pump and the motor goes... knowing you have oil in the car isnt exactly a good measuring device imo haha.
