Try changing you oil pressure sending unit on the side of the block. That usually does the trick.. Use teflon tape on it also...

So i got some advice and starting with the most basic fixes...first being checking the oil pressure sending unit. To my good luck the only problem was the wire was not connected completey. Thanks for the advice!!!

Yeah mine is just the same... It's all Frayed to hell so I just cut the damn thing and spliced new wire into it and then added it to my new oil gauge and no more worries
