Earthing points

[jpp]

I think I'm getting closer to the cause of my faulty oil temp readings.

Once off the Accumate for a couple of days and with a new sensor, on turning the pod on, air and oil temp readings were the same. However the oil temp then started to fall back to zero.

I'm beginning to re-suspect a bad Earth. Over Winter I've cleaned the battery-chassis and engine-chassis earthing points.

Where are the others/how many more?

Have a look at this post from me...

Thanks for this one - whilst I haven't mucked about with that one this time, I'm aware of someone who has so will give it a clean and tighten.

Weird is definitely the word. Now the car's off the Accumate and has had a couple of 20-30 mile trips the oil temperature sensor seems to be reading correctly again!

Forgot to add - Graham Varley's online/short version of his bible mentions the Earthing points, if anyone else is looking for a bit more info.
