Any ideas on why the Oil Pressure Gauge on a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L pegs when the ignition switch is turned on already checked the sending unit wiring and tried a different gauge?
You have a ground from the oil sender unit to the gauge. This is how you check a gauge. ground out the wire at the sender and it pegs out the gauge.

On a thunderbird what makes the oil pressure gauge move up and down?
There are two different answers here: Older cars - an actual oil line from the engine came into the passenger compartment and was attached to a gauge that read "actual" oil pressure in the engine, so it was actual pressure that made the gauge go up and down. Newer cars - a special unit, called a "sender", is mounted on the engine to monitor engine oil pressure. This "sender" will allow more voltage to go through itself the more oil pressure it monitors. The less pressure it monitors the less voltage. The gauge goes up and down depending on the amount of voltage the "sender" is sending to the gauge.
What's up your oil gauge go's up and down no matter what rpm's you am at?
Sounds like a wiring or sender unit problem. Ground wire at sender unit, see if it stays steady. If it still jumps around, wiring/gauge problem. If it stays steady, sender unit should be replaced. Good idea to do an oil pressure test as well.
Why does the oil gauge on your Chevy jump?
Chevrolet had a problem with it's combination sender/switch units used on the 350ci (5.7L) TBI engines in full-size trucks and cars between 1990 and 2000. The sender becomes inoperable due to a loose wire inside the sender itself and makes the gauge erratic. The fix is to replace the sender/switch.
