Oil Pressure at 0
My Oil Pressure is at 0 but I have enough oil in the car...What's the cause of this?
How do you check to see jf the Secondary Injectors are working properly?
Also, how do you clean out the 5th & 6th actuators, and sleeves?

A bad Oil Pressure Sender or connection to the sender could cause this. You seem to have a slew of electrical issues related to the car pretending to be a boat. If you ground the wire to the sender and turn the key to on the gauge needle ought to climb to the top. If it does then the gauge and the wiring to the plug is good. The grounding of the sender wire is to be done for a very brief period of time just to check the functionality of the gauge so as not to damage it.
For the injectors you need to keep them connected to the fuel rail but the rail needs to be pulled so you can see the bottom of the injectors. Then you need to disconnect the TPS and the vacuum hose to the Boost Sensor to trick the car into thinking it is under load and w/the engine running the rpm needs to exceed 3800 rpm and the secondaries should fire. Make sure you place a rag or something underneath to prevent the fuel from going where it doesn't need to go. And twist tying the injectors to the fuel rail will be necessary to hold them in place.

I found that my oil pressure gauge wiring was exposed and had most likely grounded out on a few different things innthe engine bay. I replaced the oil pressure sending unit and fixed the wiring. It didn't help... Then I decided to remove the gauge cluster to replace the oil pressure gauge. I found that the gauge was damaged. Replaced it with one that I bought at a junkyard and now it works PERFECTLY.
This oil pressure gauge problem is very common. And really, there isn't much to repairing it.
