Check the wire at the sensor just below the oil filter. It looks like a really small spark plug with one wire coming off of it.

clean the connections to see if it helps. i would also suggest installing a decent aftermarket gauge as insurance.

I just finished repairing my gauge. If you find that your sender still works and the gauge itself is faulty, I can repost how to fix it (or at least how I fixed mine).
