The only thing on the dash that acts up is the oil pressure gauge, it jumps around, it does it at idle and at hi way speeds. Fuel pressure is fine and not leaking down...replaced the plugs wires cap and rotor, coolant temp sensor, water temp sensor. Was doing better after all of that until yesterday morning when the weather cooled off, down in the 40's. now it takes 3-4 tries before it cranks. Once it cranks it runs like a new one. Going to change the oil pressure sensor but I don't know if it has anything to do with the starting sequence or not, but maybe it will solve the oil pressure gauge issue. Thanks for all of the replies.

I had all the symptoms you describe. I knew it wasn't going to start even before i tried if the warning lights didn't all come on when i turned the ignition to the on position.
