Stock oil pressure sender is seriously junk....I ran with mine straight disconnected w/o any problems at all. It's just a dummy light. I believe it is a pressure switch, and that at 5 psi or less it allows the electricity to ground out on the block, thus completing the circuit and giving you the low oil pressure light on the gauge cluster. I don't think the ECU uses it as input.
