Ok, here's the problem. I was driving home in 3rd gear today at about 3k. i look at my oil pressure and it starts to creep up and goes up to past the H. So I immediatly put it in neutral and the oil pressure goes back down to about the bottom mark like it should and hangs there like normal. So i start driving again and cruising in any gear above 2500 rpms the oil pressure just starts to rise. mods in profile. Its my daily driver and i gotta get this figured out. help.. PLEASE!
 
-slaps forehead- yea i searched every other phrase except rising. LOL. but i figured it out. it was actually just something stupid. Upon further investigation i noticed that part of my oil pressure sender wire was exposed. And anytime i got to about 30 mph it would blow back and ground out causing the gauge to peg... again... -slaps forehead- something so simple that i didnt see at first. anyhow, thanks for the response. :D :thumb:
