Check the oil level first. If you are full, check the sensor and make sure you have a clean and secure connection. Top rear of the engine on the passenger side. If this is all secure, it may be the sensor. It takes a 1 1/6 deep socket to remove and replace it. Cost between $18 to $40 depending if it is China or Delco made. Have you done any work under the dash? It may even be a lose wire on the gauge. If all that is correct, I hope your not having internal engine issues. Have the engine codes read if there is any "check engine" lights coming on.
