My oil presure gage on my car is reading 0 and is staying at 0. I need to get this back and runing agin soon so I can tell what my oil psi so forth is. If any one can help with ideas on how to fix this little problem or what maybe wrong with it. Thanks JD.

Sending unit is bad, go aftermarket!

I want to go aftermarket soon yes. But is there anything I can do for the time being till then. RP wont be open again till the week after next. If its not really fixable then I guess I'll just go for another week with out one and hope for the best.

...or possibly unplugged or the wire broken since it is reading 0. The stock sending units are known for failing, doublecheck the wiring and if it's fine replace the sender.

Yeah the deal reads 0 but when its going low on oil that little red light in the cornar will come on saing its geting low and all that. When I change out the oil its gone and again stays at 0. Have an idea where this wire line runs for it at on the car?

The little red light is the oil level in the pan, it uses a completely seperate sensor from the pressure sensor. The oil level sensor is on the driver side of the oil pan. The oil pressure sensor is a small "can" with a single wire connected to it. It's on the driver side of the motor just forward and below the oil filter.

Alright thanks Damion I'll go look at it here in a little see what I can find. Think my neighber is coming over later to see if he can help me out finding it and fixing it.
