is the sender mounted to a grounded surface? sometimes if the sender is not grounded (ie. mounted to firewall) correctly than it wont work.

the sender is mounted right off the back of the factory oil sending port with a T fitting. The sender has no ground on it. I played with it last night and I thing the sender my be stuck so I'm going to call autometer to see if I can't get another one. but if anyone has any ideas give them to me

I had the same problem It ended up being the ground.
Just run a piece of wire from the sender case to a good ground and see if that helps. Good luck

I used a hose clamp and clamped a ground to the sender.
