2.5L oil pressure gauge stopped reading!
I don't want to drive it if there's no pressure!
Started it up a minute ago, oil pressure jumped up to the middle like normal, then shot down to 0, then shot back up to normal, then 0 and stayed at 0. Any thoughts? Think it's a bad sensor from being so cold, or what? Just washed it yesterday, and it was fine until now. No strange sounds or anything.

Think I found my answer, lower block somewhere... I'll take a drive to A/Z and see if I can get a new one today.

It quit sticking on the next start-up, so I will postpone replacing it until I have a nice dry place to do it. :P
Picked up the new oil pressure switch from AutoZone for $10. Thanks all!
