Best Answer

It could be the sending unit which is part of the fuel pump assembly.

To replace the sending unit you must change the fuel pump.

Fairly easy. I replaced mine by lifting up the bed of the truck rather than

removing the fuel tank. Took about 1 hour.

Why would your oil pressure sensor register no pressure if the car is running fine?

Many sending units do not have continuity below 6-7psi. This would cause the gauge to read nothing and indicate a base engine problem. Some type of engine noise would be associated with this concern (ie. ticking, rattling). The sending unit or wire to the gauge could be open. This would be an electrical problem and have nothing to do with the engine. Along that same line would be a defective gauge.
