CSI Bronco
I need some help diagnosing some strange new problems. I have a '94 Brondo with the 302. My oil pressure was a bit low, even though I had plenty of oil in the pan, so I flushed the oil system, and replaced the oil and filter. While I was at it, I decided to change my spark plugs also. Well, my oil pressure is still low, (it fluctuates, but stays on the low side for the most part) and my Bronco is now also running hot, while moving at slow speeds, or while stopped. In addition, ever since I did this, my heater is taking much longer to warm up than ever before. It used to warm up within a half a mile or so, but this morning I drove about 4 miles, and it had still not really warmed up. PLEASE HELP. These issues are driving me nuts.

www.fordfuelinjection.com will show you how to pull codes. the oil pressure gauge on our rigs suck and are not accurate so get yourself a mechanical pressure gauge and install that, this will give you a true reading. check your fluid level in the radiator, if the miles are hi on the rig i would swap the tstat for a new 195*. not sure where you live but possibly the weather may be playing a part in how soon its gets warmed up now ya know

I'd have to agree with Kemicalburns. You need to have reliable guages so that you will know if your pressure really is low and your temperature really is high. After you know for sure, you can diagnose the problems more accurately. You may not even have a problem other than crappy guages.
