Help! 0 Oil Pressure, and won't idle!

OK, so I finally got the car started, I did the unflooding about half a dozen times. Finally ended up leaving the plugs out over night, then starting it for about 15 seconds, no fuse, no plugs. Put it back and got it all going.

So, after clearing out all the white smoke, I have a problem.

1. There is 0 oil pressure, I mean none. Is there a good way to check the gauge, or sender? There is oil, and it is reading at the proper level.

2. It won't idle below 1,500 RPM. It just stumbles and dies, gets real rough on idle too.

Obviously, #1 needs to be fixed before # 2. Ideas?

Thanks.

you probably want to check to see if the pressure sender wire came off, if you haven't already knew, it's the mushroom looking thing right under the oil filter...

for the idle, try adjusting the idle speed and mixture... look it up at the FSM on www.iluvmyrx7.com

It was disconnected, thanks! I didn't think it was the pump.
