oil pressure gauge anyone had theirs go bad on them? the sending unit?? my car is an 01 and at idle now the oil pressure will stay steady at times at above 40 like normal. then other times idling it will be RIGHT on 40 and then a needle below and then at 40
then other times its spurratic randomly 40 then back to normal
no performance issues, no burning oil, no funny idling, no driving issues... just weird

I have had issues with sending units on customer cars like you are describing. I have also seen sticky relief valves, and junk oil filters cause fluctuating guage readings. put a manual guage in temporarily to see what that reads.
