New HPOP, still no oil pressure

Well finally... the Beast came to life again.
I backprobed and grounded all 5 grounds on the PCM and it started. So to be real scientific I then disconnected all the probes expecting it to be dead again. No way! It started again. I guess that just sticking wires down inside the plug must have fixed a faulty ground somewhere. Somewhere... There's a ground in there just waiting to go bad again. I'll keep my "probes" (sharpened paper clips) handy just in case.
So then I swapped PCM's, re-installing my old one. The old one didn't work.
So it seems I had 2 problems, a bad PCM and a ground problem.
Anyway, I'm back in action now so I want to thank all you guys for your help. You were great, all of you. There are a lot of other things that don't work quite right so you'll be hearing from me again soon. Hopefully it will be an easier fix though.
