Just put a new cp3 on my truck started up fine after cranking for a few seconds but the check engine light came on oil pressure gauge will not move and the fuel gauge also will not move throws a bunch of codes for oil pressure fuel level senser a/c mass air flow senser and maybe more can't think of them right now... Checked all of the connections atleast 3 times checked all the fuses.. Can get both gauges to move with a scanner. I am lost and I doubt anyone else has run in to this before.... Thanks

I had an odd issue with the oil pressure gauge not working after a CP3 & injector & water pump swap - there was continuity in the wires etc. Turned out to be a bent pin in one of the big connectors. They are not exactly the best design (long, unsupported pin). Take a look inside the connector and make sure they are all straight.

Check the wires

Check the wires that go behind the bracket on the drivers side. It sounds like you pinched some wires that run down to the connectors on that side of the motor.
