After starting my stock CJ-6, I noticed that the oil pressure needle on the triple gauge would bounce from normal pressure to 0 and back very quickly, like there was an electrical ground or connection that was intermittent. No real pattern to it and it went away when the power was advanced. All other indications were normal. I reseated the canon plugs on the back of the instrument to no avail and have no idea where the oil pressure probe on the engine is located.



Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Two things

- Did you check to see if you have the same indication in the rear cockpit?

- The oil pressure senders are on the back side of the firewall.  Look for two round devices about 2 1/4" in diameter, painted brown on the side facing away from the firewall.  Those are the oil pressure senders.



I'd recommend removing the inspection cover on the port side between the instrument panel and the firewall to see them.

Steve, inside the engine compartment on the right side you will see several cannon plugs. My recommendation is u remove them one at a time, and hose them down with an electrical contact spray cleaner. Very few engines are super clean. Over the years oil works itself into cannon plugs and crazy things happen. I had issues with my tach generator plug and a bouncy rpm gage until I cleaned out the oil. Give it a try, can't hurt.

But the oil pressure sender cannon plugs are behind the firewall.  I seriously doubt oil would be getting into those cannon plug connectors.  What is in the engine compartment is the oil pressure line to the oil pump.

Oli press sensors are NOT in the engine compartment.

Open the lower right side pnl on the fuselage they are mounted on the back side of the firewall

note the front and rear oil press gauges and sensor are independent of each other.

That certainly sounds like an electrical problem.  A defective Cannon plug 

is a very real possibility;  either dirty contacts, broken wire making 

intermittent contact, etc.  Could be at the guage or the transmitter.  The 

oil press. transmitters (one for each cockpit) are mounted on frame 1.  The 

firewall is frame 0 and the FUEL press. transmitters are mounted on  the aft 

side of that- see photo.  Oil press. units are the same but colour coded 

brown rather than yellow.  Sorry, no photo for those!



Check continuity to determine correct transmitter.  Good luck.



Walt

Tom



Your CJ maybe like mine and the oil pressure senders are not located on the rear of the engine firewall but the secondary frame wall/cockpit area one. 



The pic that Walt posted shows the approximate type and shape of the sender's but those I believe are the fuel ones and the oil senders (Transducers if you prefer) have a brown case covers.



On my aircraft they are located in the front cockpit and bolt through the panel (you may call is a secondary firewall or forward frame) just above the STB rudder pedal area.



Now its interesting you mention the issue you are having as my CJ oil pressure went exactly the same in the front cockpit and after alot of messing about I traced it to a faulty sender (swapping cannon plugs identified where the issue lay) which when opened up looked like it had been full of water??. I managed to rinse the muck out of it and clean up the delicate internals and it now works but I had to fabricate a new spring to return the potentiometer arm to zero.



Hope this helps.

We have spare transducers  if needed.

Yes I did but making doubly sure the op is without doubt about colours and location of senders as there seems to be some confusion earlier in this post.



 Moreover hopefully my matching symptoms/mode of failure will provide a steer as to the possible issue he's having

A simple apology would have been in order but you don't appear to understand 

that either.
