Need Help Immediately, Dynasty ASAP

I got a 1990 Chrysler Dynasty(canada) and the oil pressure is all the way down. When I step on it it goes up. I dont know if its the gauge or oil pressure sensor or oil pump or what.

I think its probably the Oil pressure sensor because the engine seems to have the same amount of power and isn't making weird noises.

Its a 3.3L engine and I was wondering if anyone knew where the Oil pressure sensor is since I want to replace it?

Please, I need my car ASAP so if I could get any answers it will be very much appreciated.

So, does anyone know where the oil pressure sensor is?

Try looking next to the oil filter for a 4 inch long tubular unit that screws in and one wire attached.

Your gage sounds like it is working properly.
If an oil pump is failing, the oil pressure will fall as the temperature of the oil warms to the point of no pressure.

I'll check that out.

Im not sure its the pump because my oil gauge is low but when I accelerate it goes to almost half.

There are some messed up things to like the Speedometer doesn't works sometimes but I believe it has something to do with the battery.

This also happens if the oil and filter have not been changed for a long time , and or the car has been sitting for a while.

The first thing I did was change the Oil and the filter.

It turns out it was the sensor. Thanks Yogi for telling me where it was. I saw that it had oil leaking out of it and decided that it was the problem. $37 later and my gauge works fine
