Exclamation Oil pressure high? 2002T/A

I just replaced both knock sensors and oil pressure switch on my 02 T/A with 80k miles. Pulled intake, Cleaned everything, replaced gaskets, put it all back together. Now it idles at about 600 rpm and runs near 45psi? It used to idle at 500 and run 30-35. Any ideas on what could be going on?

My bet would be the sending unit you replaced. Mine changed when I replaced mine also. It showed higher than the one I took out.

BTW- 45 is not too high, actually that is around normal and 30-35 seems a little low.

I ran it for awhile and it seemed to go down to about 39. Thanks for the info and help.
