Default 85 comp question

I have been trying to get my car running again.Well today I went out to my shop and I tried to crank it over and it wont start(it attempts to run,but doesnt).I noticed the oil pressure stays at zero until I crank on it awile then it goes up.Also the coolant temp on my display is on until I crank on it,then the volts show until I stop.I can start the car if I crank and give it some gas and then it dies immediatly.Could this mean my comp needs to be replaced?I would appreciate any help offered.



Thanks in advance

A trick to do when it starts but dies immediately is to disconnect MAF and restart. And yes post the codes (if any)..
