Default Oil pressure sending unit

:mad


My guage was reading 129 psi for the oil pressure.I took the intake off and replaced the sending unit and everything worked just fine for a couple of days. The this afternoon...I downshifted to pass a car and the oil pressure guage went to 129 again and stays there...What gives? Did I maybe get a bad sensor from the dealer?

Please help :cuss :nopity :crazy:
