oil pressue gauge

Hey guy i have an 87 turbo II, and my oil pressure gauge isnt working. The needle goes all the way up when I turn it on and then it goes down and again when Im driving. So if any of you know a solution please tell me. Thanks

make sure the wire is connected to the back of the sending unit and clean up the connections.
