Oil Pressure
What should my oil pressure read at idle? Mine is really low and kinda scares me, I am an old motor head that is used to 40 pounds at idle so maybe I am just panicking a little too much.

I've had the oil pressure sensor replaced twice in my FD. It seems like it lasts for a few years and then gets intermittently flaky. It would sometimes drop to zero for a while and then start working again.
When it first happened, it was making me really nervous. I took it to a Mazda dealer near Lansdale PA. They couldn't figure it out and told me to just not worry about it. I just took it to a local shop that replaced the sensor and that fixed it (until the sensor wore out again a few years later). It also took me a few times of trying to use the Mazda dealer in Lansdale before I realized that they were not up to the task of working on an RX-7.
