Grounding issues?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last thur. had some intense rain storms come thru and my wife was driving the 99 home from work, fine made it home safe, car ran great(as alway's), parked for the night. Next day she comes home from work and say's one of her tire pressure monitors must be shot it was reading xxx for the left front,(alway's read's 30) My first thought was the battery died in the wheel but later that evening we had to go out,we took her car and when I started it the first thing I looked at was the DIC, air pressure was fine all four corners but then I noticed that the oil pressure guage was pegged at 600kpa(This car was built for canada) On the DIC it was showing me 192 p.s.i. The water temp climbed up to 226 degrees before falling back to 192,in the DIC,I don't remember what whe guage in the dash said (that one is metric also) this car never went above 192 before, as we drove it the water temp kept rising and falling and oil pressure stayed pegged.I quess what I'm getting at is this look's like a grounding problem because the car isn't running hot and it's not pushing oil out. Just wanted to revise my comment on drivivg in the rain and electronic's on the C-5. P.S. Anybody else out there have a C-5 that was built to be sold in canada?
