Default Temperature issue and possibly others

I have a 2002 trans am when we bought the car the oil pressure would always flicker
Since then engine was rebuilt now after car hits 220 randomly the temperature would drop the 100 degrees
I have replaced temp sensor twice and today did air bleed by jacking front end up and with radiator cap off got some air out.
Now while doing this was checking temp sensor wiring and a slight pull car shut off.
SO i know right below temp sensor alternator is there. Could a loss or open wire be causing all these issues???

Is the oil pressure reading on same loom?

Thanks for any ideas
