Hey I have the same problem. 99 XJ 4.0 sport. I know I have oil in the engine but the gauge shows full pressure all the time which is not right.

Wont have power it works by ground pull wire off and ground it to metal then turn key to run position gauge should peg all way to right . If it does replace sensor its that simple.

Yes my gauge is pegged to 80 psi
And I have oil in my engine so I'm sure I have pressure or my motor would have blown up
