The gauge reads constantly. You might have a bad sending unit, float, or a bad connection somewhere.

Might be a good idea to check the ground circuit for the gauge assy.

Can't find where to start new thread, so will post here. 98 Lesabre pcv valve from O Reilly pulls too much vacuum thru crankcase, and sucks oil thru intake. oil goes down too fast, and if remove oil filler cap, eng slows like big vacuum leak. I'm told only AC Delco valve works right in these 3800's. will try one for $8, only from dealer. all after-market ones must let too much air thru. Is that right? huey286
