Oil Presure?
What is the normal reading for oil presure on the analog gauge in dash?
I believe my gauge is bad, but digital reads 125? (must be shot)Going into shop tomorrow..any ideas if this is the sensor for oil or sending unit?

Re: Oil Presure? (1997C5VTBOY)
I am having the same problem with my car. I just had the computer replaced, last week hoping that it would fix the problem. But replacing the computer (PCM) fixed all the other problems (RTD and Traction control was out). So mine must be the oil sensor. The problem with that is that its a behind the intake and I was quoted $500 in just labor to replace the $70 part. The intake has to be removed to get to the part.
The sensor is behind the intake on the top of the engine. You may want to check to see if the connection came loose. Most likely not a loose connection, but you never know.
Hope this helps and post your results, I am curious as well. I was planning on replacing the part later myself.
