Why would you want too, no oil pressure no engine?
Not a good idea.

I want to disable it so that I can start the engine without the following problem:

Start, run 30-45 sec, cut out. Repeat x 4, every morning.

I figure that as I start the engine immediately each time (and have done without problem for the past 4 years) the cutout is not serving a useful purpose, and it isn't helping my battery.

david we had this problem on a 75 serius i would immedatly get your car to a mechanic and have the oil pump pick up checked as we had a faulty valve in it which end up costing a complete rebuid of the motor it was the year after yours but had the same motor symptoms were the same as you are experancing hope this help

David, The memory is a bit dim, but we used to have plenty of problems with them starting, and one of the easiest ways was to disconnect the arm between the solenoid and injector pump. Once the oil pressure was up, then you can fit back on. However, I'd agree with the others,you could have an expensive problem lurking there. Have seen blokes changing the oil in that model, using a piece of fencing wire to break up the jelly like sump oil, so it would run out the bung.

David I worked on one of these engines in a Dyna many years ago and found it had a centrifugal seperator which was very clogged with a waxy compound, presumably from the engine oil. It's just a thought.

there is a oit pressure switch just above the starter motor at the rear of the engine near the bell housing if you disconnet this wire it will stop the cutting out on start up

Hi Robert, thanks for your advice, I didn't think it would be so easy.

I had a look and gave all the connectors a good clean, rather than disconnecting everything. So far it seems to have helped, and the max pressure on the gauge seems higher too, so maybe just down to dirty/oxidised connectors. Now that I know where it all is I can keep it clean!

David.

also check the oil filter .some cheaper ones drain oil back to the sump when standing. The oil has to fill the filter each time you start the car before you get any oil pressure
