Measuring voltage can be misleading unless the voltage is measured when the circuit being measured is under load. Digital voltmeters require very little power to read voltage and, even with lots of resistance in an unloaded circuit under test can indicate full expected voltage. Once the normal l

If your reading 8V at the solenoid input then you are loosing 4V in the wiring and connections. This is likely due to bad connection, loose or corroded.

Re: Stus-List 3GM30F Oil Pressure warning

Crom what I can ascertain is you have 2 filters, a large(primary)and a smaller one (secondary). The secondary oil press. is the pressure for this filter. The engine bleeds off some oil (5-10%) and sends it thru this filter and back to the oil sump.The critical pressure is the primary.

Mike, for your situation start with the secondary pressure. Not having a manual in front of me. My guess this will give you pressure after the filter. You should be able to detect a pressure drop across all rpm ranges. For reference my 3qm30 pressure is 75 at idle after start. 65 at 21

Re: Stus-List 3GM30F Oil Pressure warning

One thing that can cause this is when the oil is not draining back from the head or wherever fast enough. At higher RPM you might be pumping more oil up, and after a while sucking air in the pan instead of oil. You might be able to determine if this is the case by measuring the oil level by dip
