Bad Oil Pressure Sensor?

Bad Oil Pressure Sensor?
Driving home last night, and I glanced at my Oil Pressure Gauge, and it is peg out to the max, pass 120.
I nearly had a heart attack, and pulled over turned off the engine. I then turn the car on in ACC, with the engine off, and the Gauge jumped back up to @120.
So, I am guessing the Sensor or Gauge is faulty? Because it is not possible to have pressure with the engine off correct?
Also, does having the gauge max out, messes up the gauge the itself?
Should I un hook the sensor until I get a New Sensor, assuming that is the problem?

u must have something wrong with the gauge or a loose connection then..the op has the same symptoms as i had and im sure its his oil pressure sensor or oil sending unit whichever u choose to call it...
yours does this often though? and goes back to normal after hitting it always?
