Oil pressure high. 120psi @ 2500 or less rpm
At idle my oil pressure gauge reads 100 psi.
Light throttle 120 psi.
I parked the z about 5 months ago because of an oil leak.
2 Months ago I took it out. Drove it to see where the leak was coming from.
Never leaked again. Been driving it until now a couple times a week.
What do you guys think? Oil pressure sensor?
Thanks for the input

Also with the key in the on posistion but with the car off it reads about 90-100 psi.4
I assume its the sending unit but you know what they say about assuming

Based on this last comment about the key in-engine off, it doesn't sound like a physical problem (per se). Figure it this way, if the sender fixes the prob (which I'm 80+% plus sure it will), you're done. If not, tow it.

While I don't ever recommend the "throw parts at it" method of diagnosis & repair, in this case, I'd suggest just changing the pressure sender. About a $20 "fix".
