Default Oil Gauge

I did a LS6 intake swap and now my oil gauge dosent work. my check gauges light stays on and the needle stays at zero. i heard there was something behind the intaje like a sensor or something. what do i need to do to fix this?

also i did a cam swap(MS3) and valvetrain swap and mail order tune. driving around the car is fine but if i go get on it just pushing it to the floor the car gives out and i have to rev it back up to keep it cranked. the rpm's just drop to almost none. but then the cars fine after that. is it b/c theres not a good tune on it?

yup, the pressure sensor is behind the intake.....on the top of the block in the back. Just be careful when you put your intake back on not to push it too far back.
