HELP...HIGH oil pressure at idle

[plumcrazy]

i just got done with the install of my DLM paxton today on my 98 GTS. i was able to fire it and let it idle for a while. after it learned a bit it seems to idle perfectly. (not driving till tomorrow)

it usually shows about 40 or so on the gauge when idling. but i noticed the oil pressure gauge is pretty much pegged at 80. i had to tap into the oil pressure sending unit to get oil for the s/c. i did mess with the send unit a bit but not too much id think.

any ideas why the pressure is so dang high ???

obviously im gonna check the sending unit tomorrow to see if its bad. but anything else ?

200 is high. 80 is normal. In my world anyway... Always has been.

Sending unit or the wire?

Pinch wire/short?

debris in the line?

first im gonna take a good look at the wires. then test the sending unit to see if its bad. i hope it is...

if not, i'll take the braided line off and blow air thru it.

i'll be taking pics soon.
