To start off with, I don't know anything about the oil pressure switch, so I
can't help you there. Sorry--I would be glad to help you, but what you are
asking is beyond my experience.
As to why some questions go unanswered, from what I have seen, the overall
level of technical experience on this list is somewhat low. There is a core
group of members who are quite knowledgeable (Terrin, Wes, Kenichi, etc),
and there are a couple who are automotive experts (Mike Kojima, Robert
Legere), but overall it seems like a majority of people on the list are
mostly concerned with trying to wedge 18" rims on their cars, lowering them
to the ground and street-racing against "Honduhs". I am not dissing the
list, as I have received lots of help and good advice in the past, but I,
like the guy to whom I am responding, find the list somewhat devoid of real
content and pretty high on fluff and stupid flame wars.
Sorry if this pisses anyone off, but compare this list to the SE-R list
sometime--it's a night and day difference, and it really bothers me that the
SE-R guys have so many brilliant experienced list members, whereas we, as a
list, have only a few sources of reliable information.
