Re: V8 5.2 in Laredo but...ECU is not working
That is a far cry from 'there is no such switch'. On mine it does not
prevent the carb engine from running, but it prevents burned up parts
and saving a wiring or choke fire from happening would be called a
'safety' switch in my mind.
I was under the impression, maybe mistakenly, that this switch was also
a shut down switch for the FI systems if they don't see oil pressure
after a certain amount of time.

A far cry from 'there is no such switch', eh.
And just FYI, Jo's old 'Nuttered' (no computer) YJ 258 engine that I
helped her rebuild in my driveway in a snow storm a few years back is
still running very strong and just passed another emissions test with
flying colors.
If that switch had of controlled the engine, it would have saved a
couple scary moments when we realized it had no oil pressure. No harm
was done because someone forgot to read the directions on the oil pump,
we caught on fast.

flying colors.
If that switch had of controlled the engine, it would have saved a
couple scary moments when we realized it had no oil pressure. No harm
was done because someone forgot to read the directions on the oil pump,
we caught on fast.

A far cry from 'there is no such switch', eh.
And just FYI, Jo's old 'Nuttered' (no computer) YJ 258 engine that I
helped her rebuild in my driveway in a snow storm a few years back is
still running very strong and just passed another emissions test with
flying colors.

Your words once again: "There is a switch on the oil pressure sender that will
cause the engine to shut down after a few seconds of seeing no oil pressure."
To which I say again. There is no such switch. Get over it.
