that is interesting because mine is hi pressure hi volume (MEL-10355)
Yours is NNBS though, isn’t it? The NBS are recommended to use the standard pump unless there’s excessive engine wear. NBS generally run higher pressure at idle than NNBS. Mine was 40 at idle stock before the cam, roller rockers, supercharger, oil pump, etc.

Don't feel bad, my oil pressure doesn't work either. Since my cluster was rebuilt awhile ago with the improved stepper motors, I'm hoping it's just the sender.
Looking good! Yeah, sender was replaced recently, first non-ac-Delco, then 2-3 months later, with a Delco part lol. So really hoping it’s the stepper motor now.

Driving the Hoe today, it started running like shit, almost like it's missing--while in gear. Revved it in neutral and it sounded a little better. No codes, all plug wires look ok. I did put gas in yesterday and I'm wondering if I got some bad gas. BTW--still getting the reduced engine power, so cleaning the grounds and adding a new one didn't help.

id start with looking for a bad wire, take off the injector plugs, put them back on a couple time, can help clean a dirty connections. surprised it not giving a specific cylinder #. so it might be all of them due to a bad wire in the harness leading to them. being your engines been worked on a wire harness might not be where it should be and rubbed a spot through.

I'm hoping my issue is a wire rather then an injector. I have a scanner that reads live data, but Idk how to interpret it.

Just giving an update to my code P0200:
Turned out to be a broken injector wire on #1 cylinder. Took me awhile to find it, as it broken right in the curve of the wire where it went into the plug.

Didn't have time to look for another plug in the parts store, so I used a jumper wire.

Of course I couldn't find my shrink wrap--yes I do have some--so I just taped it up really good. Took it for a test drive and it chirps 2nd gear again--NICE!! Runs like a champ again.
