How old are your o2 sensors? Is it tuned?

no it isn't tuned yet but i unplugged the rear sensor and it is running good now ... it semms isn't there and o2 mod because the rear just needs to be out of the exhausr stream cause it reads the the same reading it causes it not to run i read it somewhere and it was just to technical to explain ..

Rear o2's do nothing for performance, they just monitor the catalytic converters. Front o2's actually affect the A/F ratio. Not sure but your codes could be caused by the fact that you are untuned. I would get a mail ordered tune from MadTuner ASAP and then troubleshoot from there.

Try a K&N oil filter. They will give you more oil pressure and that might be all you need.

I would put a quality gauge directly on the engine and test it. make sure your cluster isn't the culprit. My lt1 would read 20 pounds on a quality gauge hot at idle but if i plugged in the new sending unit. IT would read 5 at idle

do this. lt1's do tend to have low oil pressure at idle though. get a tune though!

yeah i'd still stick a gauge directly on the engine. elimination leads to problem solved.
