I know that the oil pressure gauge is a problem with a lot of 3rd gen rx7s at idle mine reads 0. is there any way to fix it or should i just get an aftermarket unit?

thanks

After building my FD, I was read 0 too. Checked everything and found that the unit was stuffed, so I replaced it with a VDO oil pressure gauge and never looked back.
