changed oil pressure sender...now way high oil pressure reading on guage
on a 2000 ls1...so what have I done wrong?
the battery negative was disconnected during replacement of sensor.sensor was plugged in...then negative to battery connected.
started right up after install BUT guage reads from center on up and back to center...never drops below center even at idle???????
right mow I have sensor plugged in (since I cant reach it!)
both positive and negative terminals off of the battery (disconnected)
overnight. any ideas....?????

Are you saying the oil pressure is all over the place when at idle, or when you bring the RPM's up?
Cold running oil pressure should be approximately 60 PSI, and once it is warmed up it should be approximately 40 PSI.

no not all over the place...with key on and engine not running the guage reads 0
as soon as engine starts cold..guage goes between 40 and 80
as engine warms up guage drops towards the 40 and stays there even at idleif I rev it it climbs accordingly.
its like if the guage thinks 40 is 0.
the lower part of the guage is not used at all except when turning on the ignition but no engine running.
it seems to move properly with engine rpms just from 40 on up to like 65lbs

I had to change the sender because I snapped it in two while taking out the intake to replace the 2 knock sensors....before that it would read closer to the left at idle and up to 40 when engine was revving. now it start in the middle of the range and goes to the right when revving .never drops bellow 40 .if this is ok then ive got tremendous oil pressure!!!
