2002 Ford Ranger Oil pressure gauge.

Electrical problem
2002 Ford Ranger 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 72100 miles

Once the engine warms up, and I stop for a red traffic light and wait for it to change, what's causing the oil pressure gauge to wig out, flutter back and forth like it's going cardiac?

Thanh you for your response.

Hi there,

Firstly get the oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge, if it still dose this, have the pressure regulator checked if no replace the sender unit.
