Sounds like you broke the oil pressure sending unit when you swapped out your intake. It's right behind the intake on top of the block. Very easy mistake to make if you don't know to be careful of it. Ask me how I know! Lol!

well that was why i took my time, after reading how people have broke theirs in the past. not sure how it would of been broken though, the intake never went that far in to hit it or anything?

When I busted mine, the brake booster hose had caught it and broke it. I was careful aswell, as a matter of fact, I had the intake off and on 2 times before that with no issues. The other thing too, is the plastic housing around the sensor gets brittle with heat and age, so it won't take much to break it.
