well, when the pressure dropped to 0, and you were driving it home, did you hear a steadily increasing ticking, or knocking, or any sounds of engine slowly dieing???? if not, than i would say your pump is fine, lack of oil would cause lifters, pushrods, and pretty much all valvetrain to start making a hellacious racket. as for running two miles without the pump, id say your probly ok, especially if you use synthetic oil, so long as you werent running high rpms, if you were just limping her home, i dont think you would have caused severe damage. the only damaeg i can think of that you wouldnt have heard, would be some accelerated bearing wear. anything more serious than that, and youd already know about it. (aka a piston and rod jumping ship) now what it sounds like to me, with faulty guages, and the engine dying, is an electrical problem. somewhere, just a shot in the dark, what does your positive battery cable look like???? is it corroded or loose or anything??? check every connection, not just the one at the battery.
