P yea it started.
Tiago I jumped the sending unit with a paper clip and it spiked my gauge inside the car. So I dont know if that says anyhting. Should I get an OEM sending unit or just something form Checker?<hr></blockquote>

So does the sending unit actually send oil pressure or does it just send a signal back to the gauge?

[Tiago]

the sending unit just measures pressure and sends an eletrical signal to teh gage.

if you unplug the sending unit, you will get FULL reading on the gage (maxed out)

Well I replaced the sending unit...no good. Still not reading pressure on the gauge...

Any other suggestions?

Did you pack your oil pump with vasoline? You are supposed to do that in order to make sure there are no air pockets in the pump.

If you gauge is reading 0 then it's probly a true reading. Usually if the sender is bad or if it's a wiring/ground issure the needle will peg full psi.

No I was unaware of that. So tell me. What should be my next step? Taking of the front cover and seeing if there is something wrong with my pump?

And I still cant turn my motor buy hand. Could there be some relationship between the two?
