Garage
My engine oil light works fine and goes out right after I start the car. That tells me my engine does have oil pressure. Also, when I was driving the car and noticed the oil pressure went to zero (luckily I was less than 1 mile from the house), the oil light never came on, the oil quantity gauge showed normal, and the oil temp gauge was right where it needed to be. After I pulled into the garage I did a quick oil level check with the dipstick (while idling) and everything checked out. Also, there are no odd sounds from the engine or excessive temp readings.

I am pretty sure my oil pressure sender is bad, but I want to test it first while it's still on the car. If it tests good, I'll know I have a problem somewhere in the wires. Still looking for someone to tell me what the easiest way to test the sender is.
