What do you mean, it's running wierd? Is the guage spikiking or what? Have you checked your oil levels? Notice any drips?

What do you mean "acting weird"? is it bouncing around? Maybe its the gauge/sender/wiring?

As long as its not ridiculously low and moves up with the rpm's you're fine.

Especially if it only "acts weird" when the car is hot. Thats because the oil thins out when the temp rises.

Spuratic pressue at idle can indicate worn bearings. But there's other things to check before you go pulling things apart.

If you feel there really might be a problem, hook up a mechanical guage and verify the pressure. This will eliminate the guage, wiring and sending unit as suspects.

From there if it's still a problem, you can go on checking the oil pump, bearings, etc.

How many miles? The guages aren't so acurate, I'd be willing to bet there's not much of a problem. GM sped says you should have 10psi for every 1000 rpm.

Good luck!
