I'm not sure if this is the right place but I'm having an issue with oil pressure, maybe. I start the car and the gauge does nothing. I don't know if there's a way to check in ecmlink to see if that's accurate?
 
The stock oil pressure sending units often go bad. Try opening up the oil fill cap while the car is running and see if you can see oil coming up from the lifters. If you have oil coming up from there, you have oil pressure and the sending unit is most likely the problem.
 
I def see oil up there thanks for the advice it sets my mind at ease.. Now I gotta figure out the rest of the tuning adventure the day holds! First startup so working the kinks out
 
It also could be as simple as the wire came off the sending unit. Check underneath if the wire is on and has a good connection.
 
I just looked under there and it indeed was not connected good at all, solved and done!
 
Awesome, glad you got it working.
