Why is my oil pressure gauge bottom out past 80psi?

Asked by Irene Mar 15, 2020 at 08:49 PM about the 1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When I start my jeep the oil pressure gauge shoots
past 80psi and stays there. When I shut the jeep
off goes to 0. It doesn't slowly move to 80psi it just
goes straight past 80psi as soon as it is on.

I did that and still nothing I'm thinking it could be with wire connected to it. What voltage should it pit out if its live
