Problem w/ intake swap
Problem w/ intake swap so i removed the intake, and broke the oil pressure sending unit... so i got one off of a 2001 camaro (mines a 2000) i seem to have "0" oil pressure in the gauges on my dash, it worked fine in the other car... anyone have this happen to them when swapping intakes? is my 2001 sending unit not playing with the 2000 computer? or did i smash a wire or break something do you think... i tried to get my hand back there but i cant feel it at all..btw swaping the intakes on f bodies sucks bigtime

If you're not get any reading on your gauge, then something is hooked or connected. you just gotta eliminate the simple things first, maybe buy a knew sending unit?
I broke mine too but bought a new one. You're right about it sucking to do the intake swap. I thought when they weren't connected or if they were broke then it would max out the gauge instead of reading zero?

Actually, you have it backwards. If the sending unit is broken, it will read zero. If the sensor is left unplugged, it will read max.

howd you break the sensor? Removing the old one of puttin on the new one? If you were removing did you forget to lift the booster line over it? I think thats what breaks it isnt it? If I remember right.
Your not gonna be able to fix it with the intake on...I did the same thing..theres just no room. And it sits lower then the inake valley...theres a little recess there and its in the very back. Gonna have to take that intake off again..
