Default No oil pressure?

I recently changed the seal on my map sensor as well as the upper intake gaskets to fix a vacuum leak.

Started the car up and it runs like a charm. But the oil pressure gauge reads 0... when I turn the car off the gauge rises slightly for some reason.

I took the intake off but don't remember messing with the oil pressure sensor. I felt behind the intake manifold after reinstalling and felt the sensor, it feels like something should be plugged in but in the picture you can see a wire going to it. Am I missing something?

the sensor kind of wobbles when i put my hand back there. Kind of confused. It has to be getting oil pressure it runs like a charm. Just kind of scary. Is the sensor supposed to wobble around?

Ok the sensor is broken... LOL

All it does is read oil pressure right? Doesn't mess with PCM settings? If that's the case I'm just going to order a new one and drive it in the meantime.

It only reads oil pressure. I personally would leave the intake out and fix it before driving, I watch my oil pressure gauge like a hawk. Any local auto parts should stock it or be able to get you one same day.
