Default Guy's, This one's puzzling. Need Help!

I went to start my C5 today, when I noticed that my oil pressure gauge was pegged over 80. When I looked at the digital reading, it was measuring from 128 to 130. Engine temp was fine along with everyting else. Any suggestions?

Sounds like your oil pressure sensor is bad. This is a common C5 problem. I think there are several posts about it on the forum.

Your Oil Pressure Sensor is shot! You need to replace it.

Here's a Tech Tip written by one of our most esteemed experts - Evil-Twin. He was an engineer for Chevrolet on the C5, so he oughta know!
