Do you mind sharing what the casting numbers are on your cylinder heads?
There has to be a plug in there, not sure how I would get it out. Would this cause my engine not to start with no oil pressure switch sensor hooked up, initially it ran, but now i'm not getting fuel from my injectors and wondering if this might be the problem. I've heard this could tell the ecm to shut the fuel pump off.

Ok, this is what I did...

I drained my oil, took out that plug and put in my Oil pressure sensor, filled it back up with oil, hooked up the battery.

It started, but was running rough, then it died, and would not start again and injectors werent spraying.

Any ideas.
