Now What

I got my whole ebpv issue resolved,now my oil pressure gauge is bouncing all over the place,mostly on the low side.It was doing it the other day,then I realized I left the pass side ground wire to the head off. I hooked it back up and the gauge functioned fine.Now it's back to erratic. Where does the sensor hook up to the engine?Could I have screwed something up by laying on the motor trying to get the turbo out?Thanks.

Dave

Thanks a bunch Tim. I went out there to tackle another issue and I saw that on top of the hpop and thought that might be it. The connection seems a bit loose. I'll tighten it and see how it goes.
