well gee willikers, i have a probleemo!

well, ill get straight to the point. my oil pressure gauge is scaring me. it reads DEAD ( i mean literally as if the car is off ) at an idle, and rarely goes up to 30 psi under hard driving. heh, i guess i should stop the hard driving.
the thing is, everything checks out ok. no oil leaks, no smoke, no nothing. appears to be 100% mechanichally sound. this is bugging me. i was thinking about gettiong a cheap ol oil pressure gauge, and mounting it somehwhere, but i think i will leave it up to yall.

and i have check and found only 1 thread related to this.

The stock oil pressure gauge is junk, get an aftermarket one.
