Yeah, mine did that, then after a week or so it failed completely and started bouncing around constantly telling me to check oil pressure. New sender, works perfectly.

anybody have a suggestion as to where to find a new on for less that $70US? That'* the cheapest I've found locally except for autozone garbage.

$35 off GMPartsDirect.com

I bought mine at NAPA and had no problems with it.
