Mine does the same thing at idle... its fine when its actually moving. Yours looks like it does not not jump as high as mine when under load so you may want to get it checked at the source.
I had my shop check it at the source with a different sensor and its all in spec.
Take the front plugs out (easy as shit) and check the gap against what it should be (I forget). I got my VR4 for a steal because it was getting blowout and the guy thought it was fucked lol.
Ok the battery thing is an electrical problem, most automatic's 3s's have it. I had a 95 Stealth base (sohc) auto and it did that. As for the oil problem, it could be the sensor, it could be the oil pump, which isn't all that uncommon. When you redid the motor you should have replaced that as well with a high flow pump, that will shoot it right on back up there. As it stands now, it's fairly common. My 91 GTO TT is pretty low at idle, but its a big higher at 6k rpm. I wouldn't worry much.
@Rarul8 It depends on the climate you live in. Check forums for that information. From what most 3000gt owners claim that 10w30 and 10w40 are most suitable. Synthetic for high mileage cars. Options maintain your engine is oil cooler, synthetic oil, and aftermarket oil pressure guage. Oil problems are 3kgts worse enemy which can cause spun bearings.
I would use 10w-30 royal purple. If that does not change the oil pressure then check the pressure sender for possibly damaged wire or leaks, Check for dented oil pan also. And try adding like a half-quart of oil, most 3s guys claim aht between 4.5 to 5 quarts is best. not 4.25 as manual says.
Yea this is fine. I have a vr4 and it's the same. When I idle it drops pretty low and I used to get nervous but I found out that the only real problem is the gauge is inaccurate
did you have your right blinker on and turn left??? nice!
