NEED HELP....Losing oil pressure( bouncing back and forth)

Thanks in advance for your help.

I replaced my oil sensor a few months ago and it lasted about a month then my sensor was pegged again. I have not changed it out again yet but the other day my sensor started going from pegged to zero and back to pegged again. It is getting worse. I have check the oil level and it is fine. When it starts going down if I let off the gas it goes stops and goes back to pegged or sometimes it bounces back and forth.

Has anyone had this happen to them? I am not sure if it is the oil sensor or do I have a bigger problem..

Thank you!

Roy

I'd vote for the sensor.
Looks like you will be changing it out again.
If I were you, I'd do it sooner rather than later.

Wiring problems. Open should read pegged and short to ground should read 0. Possibly have a broken connection that's bouncing around grounding out.
