oil pressure sender help

[queenskid926]

Ok well I swap my working US pressure sender to my jdm block since the jdm one would fry your guage, well I guess mines was dropped on the floor or something because its not working now and now I have zero oil pressure being displayed on my guage. The needle does not move at all when I start the car.

I just ordered a new aftermarket guage and a new oil pressure sender from driftmotion, How hard is it to change the sender while the motor is in the car?
Looks like it would be hard to go too.
Any tips?

have you verified that its even hooked up properly? just because the little cover is on doesnt mean that the sender is on the little connector.

and its a bitch to do...

well its no knocking lol and isnt the stock oil cooler operates on a pressure relief spring once it reaches a certain pressure? and on startup the pressure usually spikes up correct? well i have a small oil leaks on the return line bug that only leaks when the car is first started, when the oil pressure spikes up and flows oil thru the oil cooler. so im positive that there is pressure. Speaking off i gotta tighten that nite and fix that leak today lol, but the only other way of checking to see if the car has oil pressure is taking the oil presser sender off anyway correct?
