Well i replaced the sensor, it was really easy, thanks to all of your help, i put the teflon tape on the threads and screwed it in, anyhow, i still have really high pressure, and still fluctuates, i think mabey it is in the guage itself, i am going to buy a mecanical guage and install it. then i will know for sure what my pressure it, but with that electical one out i will get a "check gauges light"??

Also: from the fuse, through the gauge and sensor, to ground, there are no less than 6 connections...not counting the connection at the fuse or the connection to ground.
If any one of them is corroded the gauge will be affected.
On my 94, the gauge fluctuates even before the car has started, after the self test cycle has completed. To me, this is more an indication of minor electrical problems, most likely in these resistances, or in corroded electrical plugs... rather than the gauge or sensor itself.
I have long ago abandoned hope of the Bonne providing an "accurate" oil pressure reading, and rely instead on what the "normal" characteristics appear to be for my particular car. I get worried where there is a change from these, rather than the actual value being shown.

They also fixed the empty when full trick on the gas guage.
