Default No Oil Pressure!!!!

I just got a cam and fast intake installed and drove the car 200 miles home and took it out to day and ran out first and second to red line and check gauges came on dic, NO OIL PRESSURE, none! the dic says XXX for oil pressure and the gauge is at 0, I'm not sure if it really has nothing or if its a sensor thing? HELLLLP!!

yeah, the shop must not have pushed it all the down till it cliped in, I looked down and had a small heart attack pulled over and had the car towed to my house, looked on here for some info on where the sensor was, found it and pushed it back in, gotta love the forum for stuff like that!

Glad it turned out okay... I know that must have been scary!

For others in the future.... ALWAYS check the oil pressure sensor plug behind the intkae manifold if the Intake has been off for any reason. The Vacuum hose for the power brakes runs from the back of the intake manifold to the vacuum brake booster and passes right under the wire for the oil pressure sensor. It has to be disconnected and moved to change the intake out.


Enjoy the new power!
