I believe it's a two pin connector. If you're seeing your gauge working at all it should be reading correctly unless there's a poor connection. Get out and listen for increased valve train noise. If your motor's making a racket you may need to do some detective work.

Put a mechanical gauge on it to compare; that will tell you if the sending unit is bad.

we hooked a mech. gauge to it and the gauge in the car is slightly off by a few psi so its not an electrial problem, i have the ported ls6 oil pump in the car but when the motor blew it locked up? so maybe it damaged the oil pump? wat do u guys think
