"Merry Christmas, Kim. I am sure the 2100, 1900, 1800 psi's are typo's. Keep in mind you can always go back and edit a post once it is submitted. I'll take a guess and extrapolate that the 30 to 32 psi at 35 mph would peg you about…"

Kim K Kaiser replied to Kim K Kaiser's discussion oil Pressure Sensor"I understand the need for specificity to manual requirements, and i did run at that benchark.

"OK, Kim... i'll try it again.. If your engine is warmed up, and you are driving on a flat road at 30 mph, what is your PSI. Even in my Escalade with the 6.0 Liter LQ9 engine just driving around psi is up and down as a stop and go, shift gears,…"

"Shop manual is specific - at idle 10 psi, at 30 mph at 30 - 35 psi. I don't know what "driving around" means. Let engine warm up and drive to 30 mph on flat level road and see what psi is at? Your at idle is very very close to…"

Kim, I have a 63 Coupe Deville, all stock. I had the exact same problem and I know what you are going through. I have a 600 cca battery in my car. I firmly agree with the others about using the highest amp battery you can find. I have my timing set at 5 degrees. The fuel additive is what seemed to help the most . My engine was pre - igniting when hot and the stock starter just could not overcome it. As I mentioned the additive made the biggest difference. I cannot find the paperwork on my starter but if you google high torque starters you will find it. The cost was around $300.00.
