If your car is at idle and fully warmed up I think the idle should be about 500 to 650 rpm. The oil pressure reading is way high. It looks like you need a new sending gauge for that. However, all my experience is with 91 and 92 C4s.

I could be wrong on the car being up to temp The oil pressure does come way down to normal. My concern is the gauge RPM, if that looks good. Yes I know the car RPMs should be about 650. Just checking if my gauge is working correctly
