I am trying to configure an I2C protocol between a PIC18F25k80 and a barometric pressure sensor (the link for the datasheet is provided below). I can't figure out what the problem is. Initially it was giving a write collision error, which I think I managed to handle (correct me if I am wrong). However, the output signals from the clock and data lines do not look anything like the expected sequence for an I2C communication (No sign of start or stop sequences on the clock output).
Thank you

The output capture seems to repeat.
The part number of the sensor is MS5607-02BA03, but the datasheet was already included.

One way to fix this would be to modify your I2C functions to wait until their associated operation completes before they return. For example:
void startI2C()
{
SSPCON2bits.SEN = 1; // initiate bus start condition
while (SSPCON2bits.SEN); // wait for bus start condition to complete
}
and the same for every other I2C function.
Another alternative would be to make an IdleI2C() call in between every single I2C operation, like:
IdleI2C();
startI2C();
IdleI2C();
writeByteI2C( slaveAddressR );
IdleI2C();
etc ...
I tried both ways but the output doesn't seem to change at all.
I tried debugging it again. It looks like the first time it attempts to write something in the buffer register it fails and it returns with a write collision. And it keeps doing that forever because it gets stuck in the do while loop I am using to handle a write collision.

You need to wait for any and all I2C operations to complete in a PIC before you initiate the next one. This is what's causing your bus collisions.
For example in your code you have:
and the problem here is that you aren't waiting for the start condition to finish before initiating the byte-write.
