electrical guage issue
I posted before about my car over heating and having no oil pressure and the advice you gave me was to check oil pressure with an oil pressure gauge and to check temp with a gauge. i did that and found out that my fuel pressure was perfect and my temp never went above 220 F and stayed at an average temp of 200 F. So i bought new gauges and put them in and still had the same problem temp gauge went into the red and oil pressure stayed bellow 10 psi. what could cause that to happen.

either the sending unit, or a grounding issue.

I would suspect ground issue as 2 gages are affected.

Check the sender connections. my oil pressure was reading very high, until I cleaned the connections. Quick fix.
