Hi all
1993 5.7L/Bravo motor

Got a small issue with my port engine. When its cold, the warning buzzer sounds starting about 10 seconds after starting the engine. It will stop sounding after a few minutes. Drive oil bottle is at the proper level, engine is not hot, oil pressure and oil level are fine. Seems that once it warms up, it quits buzzing. Those are the only things that can trip the buzzer correct? I suspect its the temperature sensor is bad or wrong (motor came from an Alpha boat), but I just want to make sure there isn't something else that I may be overlooking before I start messing with this too much.

Re: engine warning buzzer

While its going off disconnect each sensor one at a time to see when it stops. then that will be the bad one.

Re: engine warning buzzer

Anyone happen to know which is the temperature one? There are two at the tstat housing. I pulled the wire off the bell at the back of the intake, and that seems to be the oil pressure guage. I have tried unplugging the drive bottle with no result.
