sounds like a loose connection
not enought to turn the gauge off but play havoc with the readings

ok cool i will check for that first thing in the morning. but is there any way that my motor could have a problem without having a noise to go with it?? cause it runs smooth and theres only 1400 miles on the motor.also have you heard of this happening before??

It's probably the Guage itself but usually when the oil pressure rises then lowers its the oil pump and if not then its the engine bearings

Did it just happen the one time or is it constantly doing it?
