Default oil pressure

Hey just changed my oil a week ago and this morning i hop in to start my jeep and the pressure fell to 0 every time i pushed the pedal down until it warmed up... its never done this before and would regain to about 50 until i pushed the pedal again. any ideas?

First thing to check is the sensor. Then if this is true, probably the oil pump. Worse case scenario is a spun bearing.

yea the oil preasure sensor will do that. thats how i got mine for cheap. dude said it wouldnt hold oil preasure told me it had a spun bearing but it wasnt knocking at all even the slightest bit. so i bought it paid 33 bucks for the sensor and no major issue outta it since. so i would start with replacinng the sensor agian and see what happens.
