My rig is a 95, auto, with the 4.0. A while back I did the full guage swap. Near the end of July I finally got around to putting in the correct oil pressure sender at the same time as new oil, filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and temp. sender. It ran fine up until last Tuesday. Guage showed the pressure to hold at 40 when idling, just over 40 when driving, and if I was hard on the gas it would go up slightly more. If it downshifted while traveling at highway speeds and went over 3000 RPMs it would spike at somewhere between 60-80 on the guage.
Last Tuesday it starts acting up. It's fine when I'm idling, but as soon as the engine RPM's go up the guage maxes out. It doesn't matter if it's from me pressing the gas or from the transmission downshifting. If I let it idle again or even slightly let of the gas and hold it steady it will come back down. I checked the oil and it was at the lower line of the safe area. I added the spare quart I had which put it to the upper line, but there was no change. I checked the connection on the sender and the wire leading to it, but they looked fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
