You can get a manual oil pressure gauge and screw it in at the oil pressure sending unit. It will tell you if the factory gauge or the sending unit is bad. Make sure the electrical connectors on the wire end and the sending unit are clean too, I have heard others say theirs was dirty and causing erratic readings.
