I just rebuilt the 2.4L engine on my '97 sunfire. Starts great. But i have zero oil pressure. I checked it with a gauge. Odd part is the filter fills with oil, so the pump must be working a little. I put a new pump in it when it was rebuilt. I suspect the pump needs to be primed, but I don't know how to do that. Is there anyway to prime the pump with the engine still in the car? This weekend I plan on dropping the pan and seeing if I can locate the problem. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

Mike
