I don't think its test-able, I would replace it just to be sure. I made a typo, obviously instead of fuel is should say oil-pressure.
yeah, i figured that ;) How much was the oil-pressure sensor?

I'm not sure how much a sensor is, but I know a lot of members have replaced theirs.

My Oil pressure mechanical guage was like $35 after everything.

Its been cleaned up since, but here is the jist of my guage:

This looks like a possible case of the original owner not knowing the oil needed changing. Then finding out it needs syntheric motor oil. Those oil rings on the pistons look really ugly.

EEK! yeah, they are pretty dirty. I'd sure like to get my hands on the person that owned this thing before!

Didn't some chick own it before? Or her husband built it for her or something? I don't remember the exact Ebay ad, but it was something like that...right?

The owner was J-C-5 on the forum... he's a car nut. I know that he wasn't the one that didn't change the oil. His wife was the one that drove it around most of the time. She was going to Auto-x it, but "decided not to". I have a feeling that he saw the inside of the engine and quickly decided to sell it to an unsuspecting person like me .. :( (of course I may be going out on a limb saying that, but I have the right to after what I've been through since I've owned the car).
