[RESOLVED] oil pressure gauge stuck on 100

[mitsocruiser]

I installed a autometer oil pressure gauge and it was fine until I touched the gas and then it pegged out to 100 psi. I rechecked the wire to see if it had a bad ground and traced all the other wires out everything looks good. Is it possible to have a bad gauge all the other gauges I installed work fine just the oil pressure is giving me trouble know as soon as I turn the car on the gauge needle goes to max any suggestion would be appreciated.

Does it move down after the car warms up?
During warm up oil pressure is alot higher, mines around 75psi. 100psi is still high, even for warm up, but I'm just trying to rule things out.
I assume you have an electric pressure gauge?
Check the sender out and make sure it's not damaged.
Where did you install the sender?

The sender wire has shorted to ground, or the sender itself has take le merde tres plus grande.

I figured it out yesterday my sender wire was nicked and went to ground rewired and it works fine now thanks for the advice guys
