Oil Pressure
Question...
Car runs fine but...
Cold, car is showing 80lbs of pressure on the dash.
Warm, pressure fluctuates depending on throttle. As I give it gas the number climbs, if I give it enough gas it pegs at 80.
Just a sensor issue, or could it be something else?

Sure sounds like a oil sender problem.. It's the same thing mine was doing.. My oil pressure would also fluctuale up and down as I drove at a steady speed..You can put a manual gauge on it to check if it's your sender or not.....WW

If you can find an AC Delco get that...Alot of the sensors found at auto parts stores are crap... AC Delco or Delphi, both are better sensors...I got an AC Delco on ebay for $35.00 last year...
