            Well i connected it to the center prong and the gauge reads now.. However, 45psi = 0psi and at idle it sits at 75psi lol

              Sounds like the cluster has a issue

                      not on the wrong pin. Could be the wrong sender (33-240 ohms instead of 0-90 ohms? I'll have to look up what years got what) or bad connection?

                      original engine, original cluster?

                        Yeah I'm pretty sure everything is original. Did they have a single wire sensor? Why would i only have one wire but three prongs?

                          did you try touching the other wires to the sensor ?

                            Shouldn't do anything then. Three wire are a switch/sender built into one unit. They were failsafes for the fuel pump relays on the older models. Middle was the sender pin, the outside two were +12 input and fuel pump feed - hit 4 psi oil pressure and it would power the pump in case the relay was dead.

                            88 cars had two wire sensors, not exactly sure why at the moment.

                            I've heard of this issue before it seems like with the connector.... [MENTION=2673]alone_and_insane[/MENTION]?

                              I had a single wire connector in my '96. I bought a pigtail and spliced the wires together myself. Afterward, it seemed to work the same as it did before. Sorry, wish I could be more helpful.

                                Its slowly been going down, idling it gradually went down to the 40psi mark. Idk how much this is gonna do but I'll probly replace the sensor in the next couple weeks just to check
