Weird D.i.c. Reading
same ole question, oil pressure has been maxed out for a few months, 80 on the gauge, 130 on d.i.c., now all of a sudden after some spirited driving ..down to 0 on the guage, and THE D.I.C SAYS..xxxPSI? wth does that mean besides the oil pressure is 0. I know the oil sending unit is bad, blah blah blah, but have NEVER seen that type of message on the d.i.c. thanks. 
p.s. also the guage will bounce back and forth from 0-80 and the D.I.C. goes crazy, registering different numbers, check guages light will flash, low oil pressure message also comes on, and oil temp at 215 at 6am at 47 degrees outside doing about 80 mph. Anybody know why? i checked the oil and it's fine, no oil needs to be added.

Sensor is bad on my car as well. Waiting to replace mine when I pull my manifold..Mine is just spiked out.
BUT... if the sensor is just freaking out completely like shorting.. that might cause the strange pressure readings.. Don't know of anything else that could cause it...
