Replaced oil sender/switch and still no pressure

God damnit this car is really pissing me off. I first tried bleeding the clutch .. and the clutch is still not bleeding properly, and i have a ss line.

Anyway ... I replaced the sender because I was seeing no oil pressure ... no such luck still no pressure.

What else do I need to check?

I included a picture so you guys can let me know if i fucked anything up .. which i dont believe i did..




I dont seem to see any leaks .. but the only other thing i can think of is the o ring under the front seal?

It's been a long day and you're at the point where you become silly? Plug that oil sender there at the back with the funny plug that goes in from the side. Just to be clear, the oil pressure sender is the big cylindrical sensor in the picture that isn't plugged. The tiny one above with the crimped connector is the coolant temp sender for the gauge.

Not really, the "mushroom one" sends info to the oil pressure gauge, the little one sends coolant temp info to the coolant temp gauge.

I see you really took my advice to heart...excellent work.

Seriously...why would you start throwing parts at the problem before even running any tests?

Again...

Your engine would not be running if you truly had no oil pressure. So your issue is the gauge, sender, or wiring between.

Logic would dictate that you attempt to TEST those parts before just replacing them in a random order...unless you had those parts already on hand spare and the cost was nothing to swap them out.

Don't take this the wrong way...but what you've done here doesnt make 100% sense to me.
