what gauge and sender are you using? it kinda sounds like the sender is wrong for the gauge, or you have a massive blockage in your oil gallery. might be worth borrowing a different gauge to check.
please don't do the diesel thing.. that is all bad!!!
what happens when diesel is going theu your turbo?? eeek!
a normal engine would have maybe 10PSI or something at idle (i'm not exactly sure... in the mx5, the oil pressure climbs steadily till about 3000 or 4000 rpm, where it gets to 40Psi. at higher revs, oil is let past the pressure relief valve, so it stays at 40psi.
it really sounds like your gauge is lying to you
