Default HELP! Please High oil pressure

I have a 2001 coupe 6 speed and when I started the car up this morning the oil pressure was pegged at 130psi which I think is the top of the scale. Has anyone out there had this happen and can help me through the fix?
Thanks
Wayne

The sensor died. Common problem. There are a few fixes on the forum. Let me find the one I like...

I agree, I went to Summit Racing and bought a number of items and made a relocate kit when mine went out, It works all good now.

I bought the complete relocation kit from Jeff at TPE (Total Performance Engineering). Awesome kit and I never have to worry about it again.

I read through the procedure very detailed. I don't really have the tools here in Florida nor my garage (the car is parked with cover outside) to do this. I'll pick up the sensor and do the job when I get back home. Thanks for all the help.
