Customer Question

My 2001 Yukon oil gauge is saying at startup sometimes that there is no oil pressure. If i punch the accelerator it will kick in and move up. I know there are issues with the panel but does that sound typical of the issue of the instrument cluster or sending unit or does it sound more like an oil pump

Model: Yukon xlt
Year: 2001
Engine: 327

Hello! Welcome to justanswer!

At idle when the gauge reads 0, does the engine rattle?

Customer replied 259 days and 19 hours ago.

i have not let it run long enough to find out. It is an intermittent problem sometimes it happens sometimes it does not. It happens more often if we do not use the vehichle for a few days

The gauge is wrong. The engine is ok. Otherwise it would cease to operate if the gauge readings were correct.
