When you say it was running hot, how hot? Was it in the red?

Why would you continue to drive without oil pressure to ensure there was no knocking?

You replaced the oil pressure sending switch before or after this happened?

Nobody can give you hints-you'll need to find out what caused the problem starting with do you really have no oil pressure or is it a oil pressure sending unit issue.

Exactly what three wire sensor are you referring to?

Get us more info and we'll be able to help you more.

It would be much easier to read your posts if you had sentences starting with a capitol letter and ending with a period instead of one long never ending sentence that talks about bunches of things.
