1996 Disco I, 108K
What are some of the causes of these things happening?
1. Oil pressure light intermittently flickering. New oil (changed Sunday), new filter, recently ran Gunk Engine Oil Flush through. Doesn't always do it, then will flicker and/or be constantly on, especially at higher rpm's. Oil pump?
2. Tachometer not functioning for several minutes after starting engine. Operates fine after it starts, although the needle seems a little "slow" to respond to throttle changes, especially accelerating from idle.
Engine sounds normal, runs fine. I'm hoping that it's, for (1), a sensor or something simple, since I just put a new water pump on the truck. For (2) I'm hoping a loose connection?
