96 ranger 2.3 died while driving, oil pressure gauge dropped to zero
I was driving my 96 2.3 down the road, when suddenly the oil pressure gauge went to zero and the truck died. Further attempts to crank it resulted in the engine turning over but not firing. Upon turning the ignition on, the fuel pump could be heard. There was no smoke or roaring of a locked up engine, and the truck was able to be pulled home as this happened a mile away from home. Tried fuel reset button, it wasn't tripped. A sensor maybe? I don't know. Everything about this truck so far has been relatively cheap partswise, but a real mother to install. Just put a new heater core, heater valve, water pump, and serpentine belt a month ago. Everything seemed fine, no indications of problems then BOOM, just died. Help please!
