2003 3.0L changed the oil for the new year and ran it about a minute and no oil pressure so i shut it off. Did i not wait long enough? How would i check to see if it has pressure and maybe the guage is bad?

there should be oil pressure within seconds. i cant remember where the oil pressure sender is on that motor but my next steps would be to put a mechanical guage on it.

"I believe the Sender is along the Starboard-side of the Block, Just Ahead of the Starter

Grounding the Wire on it, Should Peg the Gauge.....

Is the Oil Filter secure,+ with only 1 Oring,..??....
Sometimes the Old 1 sticks to the Block...."

"I would check your sender.I had the same problem and it turned out to be the sender.Just replace it,they are cheap."
 
"Tim: To reduce your concern

"Tim: To reduce your concerns about damage, when you first started the engine after the oil/filter change, did the engine sound like shaking a can of marbles for more than 1-3 seconds and CONTINUE until you stopped it?

If it quickly quieted down after 1-3 seconds, it is most likely just an electrical problem. Oil starvation is very noisy and is extremely detrimental to the engine. Guy"
