oil failure warning - 03 911 C2

anyone ever get this warning? fuel pressure erratic, drops to zero, oil failure warning comes on, pressure goes back up. no noises or jolts or anything from engine sound wise. mentioned it to guy who works on my car and he said my car definitely does not have a compression issue. i've read on a post where one guy replaced maf sensor to solve it and another replaced the oil pressure sending unit.

I have not had any of these problems, but it sound electrical. Maybe a bad ground? Have you checked for OBDII codes?

I'm having the same issue. Did the new sending unit fix your problem?
