Ok now I have finally figured out the problem why my car wasn't running which ended up being ignition amplifier was corroded bad.

Here is my problem when I start the car and let run the oil pressure guage doesn't move at all. The needle just sits there at the bottom being lazy. Would my car shoot any codes out that deal with that. It seems like everything is fine but this is a new engine and first time being started just want to check everything and make sure its good to go.
 
theck to make sure that the wire is hooked up to your pressure sending unit on the oil filter housing they tend to slip off of there pretty easy
 
its connected but another thing also, when i was trying to get it started about a week ago. It was just turning over but not starting after a while the needle would shoot all the way to the top,
 
my stock oil pressure gauge is broke to. i have replaced the sending unit and still it dont work. im ordering a aftermarket oil pressure gauge with its own sending unit but in the mean time you can start the engine up and pop the oil cap off for a second and see if oil is pumping through your rocker arms. If it is your getting pressure and if it aint your not. Also make sure you got a rag in your hand when you pop that cap off when its running because it may shoot some oil out.
