Oil Pressure Gauge Pegged to 80

[pdxrealtor]

I'm getting really sick of all these issues.

Now my oil light is pegged to 80, even at idle. Anyone know what this could be?

When you turn engine off does the oil gauge go back to 0 like all the other gauges? If not its probably a bad stepper motor. If it does go back to 0 then it could be the sending unit. My speedo gauge and oil pressure gauge stepper motors are bad. I need to get mine fixed :-(

Yes, when I turn the motor offer it goes to zero. When I turn the key but don't start the motor it shoots to 80. Start the motor and it zeros out and then shoots right back to 80.

From what you're saying it sounds like sending unit. Yes?

Where is that oil sending unit?

Oil sending unit at back right side of engine ,just behind the intake manifold
