The oil pressure gauge is flaky. Sometimes cleaning the contact on the sensor helps. But the sensor also wears out after a while (search for pics of one cut open to reveal a stretched spring). If that is the case, you can replace the sensor and have it go bad again after a while. Or replace the gauge with a more reliable aftermarket unit.
