maybe the gauge is just off? i'd try connecting the oil pressure and temp sensors to the ecu and see what it reads as opposed to the gauge. logging oil pressure and temp via the ecu would be sweet too. you could enable on board datalogging and get it to log oil pressure and temperature along with a bunch of other channels all at once.

brian that is the plan with the haltech, since it has a "Engine protection" thing that can trigger via pressure, which i was hoping to setup too

oh i forgot to tell u it started to work again when i took ur car out in the middles of the seeion on saturday
Yeah it displays numbers once you are up to like 3k rpm's but I don't think its working as intended.
Possible it's picking up debris in the oil and clogging it?

You said the pressure sensor was before the oil filter correct? It could be picking up particles from the pan that would normally get filtered out by the filter.

I had a Innovate A/F ratio guage that quite working on me after a couple of hours. I made new grounds for it multiple times. I could never get it to work properly.... Maybe it is a fault with there products? I went to a AEM A/F ratio guage and never looked back.

gauge just displays 0 but the voltage coming from the sensor is pegged at 3.61v

the LogWorks data logger just reads 0 from the pressure sensor...
