Well thank you guys, my bird has been given water and the light shut off. but now my oil pressure is back down at 0 after raising a bit. I'm going to give it an oil change or spend like $30 and have it done by a shop (cuz im lazy) and then hope it works. I just hope nothing was damaged
Hopfully you didn't run it out of oil:3d_frown: Check on the header side over the block, below the distrubutor, there is a single wire that goes to a round sending unit, it slides off towards the wire. Check to see if it is making good contact, its the oil sending unit. If the oil hasn't been changed for a good while the oil filter could also be plugged up.

It is possible your guage is bad. Ive been driving on a bad guage for over 5 years. The dealer can't even special order one here and Ive tried a few from the junkyard, all bad. I metered the wires from the cluster to the sending unit and changed the sending unit twice. You might have to use an aftermarket one if its bad. I havn't tried to get a new one from the USA yet.

Sorry for the no replies it's been a heel of a few weeks. I did an oil change when I first got the car, and it did that whole thing about a month after the car. I did an oil change and the pressure gauge is still at 0. So I'm going to guess its a wireing problem? But I don't know. My oil is brand new and its not low at all.

Did you check your wire on the pressure sending unit below the distributor???
