oil

im alittle new to the Rx7, but i have learned enough. (1990na to S5 JDM Turbo) My 7 keep flooding, and i think it is not getting any oil. Everytime i deflood it, it starts runs to about 1k rpm and dies. I clean the spark plugs, and try it again. Same problem and My oil guage do not show any pressure.
Is there anywhere special the guage hooks up to??
any ideas would be good.

1. why do you think you're not getting any oil? the oil gauge? Check the sender to make sure it's working right.

2. Have you checked for vaccuum leaks? Compression test?

3. where have you searched for solutions? FSM? this forum? SEARCH FEATURE?

4. You NEVER learn enough. I learn something new everyday on here.

Have not done compression test. Have searched around on here, SpeedHawaii, and asked around to some local 7 owners. I have not done a compression test yet. Ive checked the sender, and all vac line are either pluged or caped except for the Pressure sensor line, (not sure where that goes to) And there is a big hole on the passenger side of car, under the intake mani.
Thnk not getting oil because the Oil filter was dry, and car is full of oil. oil is making it to the cooler though.
what should compression be at?? will try that today..

It's not an oil problem.

If the car floods everytime it starts up, you may have a sticking injector.
