I was driving my vehicle when all of a sudden it died. I pulled off road and tried starting again but no luck. My oil pressure guage is not showing any pressure but has plenty of oil in engine, any help would b appreciated.

There should have been a Check Engine light come on. If so, there is a diagnostic fault code memorized in the Engine Computer. Those codes must be read to lead to the circuit or system with the problem, not necessarily the defective part.

This would be typical of a crankshaft position sensor. Which engine do you have?
