    Default 1G-GTE oil starvation

    Has anyone had issues with starvation under cornering with a 1G? It's pretty dramatic: the oil light comes on around roundabouts...but it hasn't grenaded yet. Sump's full, pickup etc is sealed...

    Hmm, I never saw my "everything's OK" light go off on mine...(I call it that because I had the gauge sender which works reverse to the idiot light).

    Put a mechanical gauge in and confirm?

    Maybe its just dodgy wiring earthing out on corners?

    No idea what sender's onit I've got a mechanical gauge too, and that never seems to drop below 20psi...but it's pretty slow to react too.
