oil pressure help!

When I did my cam Install putting the Intake manifold back on I broke the oil pressure sensor..

The car ran smooth had it running maybe a half hour (all together)

warmed it up decent... and shut it off.. (no oil pressure thought the gauge was broke)

Well I went to take it to the Gas station today... And It start kinda desialing running ****ty and the oil gauge started bouncing..

In the upper rpm it gained some decent pressure down low it fails But the car Idles smoothly

The lower end power started acting funny and it did up top to... the whole time I drove it anywhere above 2800 rpms I started building oil pressue and the gauge was bouncing like a broke mph gauge in a old ford ranger... I could feel it though out the whole car...

I usually ignore posts that abuse TTT (even when TTT is not used specifically).

Your post is also way confusing (probably why no one else has answered, either). I can't tell if you have a good oil pressure sensor or a broken one. If broken, it needs to be replaced and new results posted back.

could It be the Oil Drive gear isnt matching up with the new cam (the little gear you have to pull out when the intake manifolds off)

The oil pump its self?

The oil drop tube screen?

like shoebox said, by a new gauge and then post back here with the results. if you install a new gauge and there is obviously something wrong because your gauge is telling you there is, then we can help.
