I replaced my old oil pressure sensor with an SOS unit and it was all pretty straight forward. When I started up the car the oil pressure gauge pegged at over 80. I shut the car down, checked all the connections and turned the car back on. Now the oil pressure readings are normal but the check engine light came on. I shorted it with a paper clip and the engine light turned off for a second and then came back on and stayed on. So based off of this http://nsxprime.com/wiki/Trouble_Codes does that mean the ECM is bad now?

Replaced Oil Pressure Sensor and Check Engine Light Came on

So you are saying the code it threw was zero? Did you try and repeat this process again? I don't disbelieve you but to change an oil sending unit and then your ECU dies is pretty wild.
If I were you, I would try this test again. If you get the same results, pull the clock fuse for a couple of seconds and reinsert the fuse back in. It's like rebooting your computer. Then try it again. Let us know your progress.

Ok, got it fixed. After I wrote this and went to work I tried it again and I guess in my tired state I didn't short it properly. The code was for the vtec on the front bank which I must have bumped the connecter lose when I was trying to get my hands in there to replace the oil pressure sensor. It is a bit of a tight fit in there so I cause my own headache by not checking everything my hands touched/ bumped. Thanks for the support Valhalla.
You're welcome, glad you got her fixed. Coming out to Castaic Lake with us Sunday?
