cowboy_26_us Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hello Everyone,I am new to the forum so here goes!I have a 2000 CX613 with the E7-460 and I am having problems with the engine shutting off while driving. Every time this happens I read the codes with the scanner and get one for low oil pressure. All the fluids are at proper level so I have added a mechanical oil pressure gauge to the truck to make sure that I do have proper oil pressure when this happens and yes I have plenty of oil pressure. So when this happens I replace the sensor and it works fine for about a month and then it starts again. I have gone through about 5 sensors in the last 5 months and I am getting fed up with it since they are not cheap. Can someone please help with some advise on this since I would like to get to the root cause of this and not have to keep on replacing sensors.Thanks, Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26434-truck-shutting-off/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathura Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 You may have debri in the oil pasages which is creating the failure of the sensors, I suggest that you use air pressure 100psi and blow the the port where the the sensor is fitted. Another thing using tefelon tape or thred seelant on the sensors is not advisable Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26434-truck-shutting-off/#findComment-130560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
