What would cause the oil pressure to climb to 70 psi when you step on the gas and drop back down to 45 when at idle?

As you increase rpm, the oil pump runs faster, thus creating more pressure.

What would cause the oil pressure on a 96 jeep Cherokee to go from 45-60 then slowly climb up to 80 psi and then come back down again when you let off the gas?
The oil pressure is created by the oil pump which is mechanicly driven inside the engine. When oil is cold it is thicker so oil pressure is higher, as it warms it thins and lowers the pressure slightly. When you rev the engine up the oil pump pumps faster, therefore raising the pressure in accordance with the rpm. Those readings sound fine to me. Hope this helps

Bad switch or transmission not completely in park. Try putting a little pressure on the gearshift.
