The oil pressure gauge is reading low or not reading at all in your 1988 Toyota Celica GTS do the oil pumps go out often?

Oil pumps rarely fail----the problem of low oil pressure readings almost always turns out to be the sending unit (usually mounted very close to the oil filter) when oil pressure is truly a problem the tell tail sign will be a lot of lifter type ticking noises----that is a sign to shut off the engine as fast as possible

Why does my oil pressure gauge read low?
You will need to remove your oil pressure sending unit and install a mechanical gauge to get a true reading. You need to start out cold and write down the pressure reading and also once it warms up to operating temperature. If the pressure gauge is not the same as the mechanical one you have a bad pressure switch.

What should my 89 celica SX oil pressure GAUGE READ AT 800RPM?

Gauge pressure and absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is what you get when you take the reading from your tire pressure gauge. Absolute pressure is the pressure inside your tires plus the atmospheric pressure, which is roughly; 14.7 psi, 101.3 kPa (kilo-Pascals), or one atmosphere. Absolute pressure measures all of the pressure on your tires, inside and out, whereas gauge simply measures the pressure inside the tire.
How do you i test the oil pressure gauge on a 1998 Chevy?
Take the wire loose from the oil sending unit and then turn the key on and ground the wire to the engine somewhere and the gauge in the truck should go all the way past the highest point. If it don't then the gauge in the dash is bad are the wire going to it ( The 1 you grounded ) is broken. If the gauge is reading low oil pressure, Then unscreew the oil sending unit on the engine just behind the distributor, were you took the wire loose from. Then install a OIL PRESSURE GAUGE into it's place. Then start the engine and read the pressure, Now compare the reading on the dash gauge to what you are reading on the oil gauge.
