Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge on my 98 vette when started goes all the way to 80 the max and stays there and when killed goes back to 0 what could this be? Just the sensor or is the gauge bad? What do you recommend?

This is the bad sensor symptom. Intake needs to be pulled forward 6 inches to access the sensor. Not a difficult job.

Thats the only way. It should not take that long. 2 hours at most. Just make sure you have the torque specs and sequence for the intake installation. The intake has a rubber gasket so you wont have to replace any gaskets. Good luck. As soon as mine arrives I have to do the same thing.
