Toyota Trucks: oil pressure gauge

errr I mean 160,500 miles

My '93 pickup's oil pressure gauge started reading 'lower than usual' (yes,
with oil in it...) at around 90K miles. It never dropped down into the 'low'
range, but it was about 10 - 20% (of the gauge's span) lower. Also, it dropped
WAY lower at idle than it ever had before...

I had a shop check it out. They said the sensor / sender seemed to be
'fatigued' (just not reading as crisply as it should), and I replaced it. The
in-motion readings went back up to where they'd been, but it _still_ read lower
at idle. NOTE: The shop measured the actual oil pressure at idle as only 5%
'off' the as-new spec.

All I mean to illustrate is yes, the gauge may be reading lower as a function
of its own age / fatigue, etc. However, there are a lot of other (more
disturbing) things that could cause it, too.

Thanks...
One think that bugs me almost as much as my oil pressure gauge is the
my posts come out looking fragmented all the time? The paragraphs dont
seem to stay the way I write them? Is there some switch in Outlook I'm
missing?

(slightly off topic but any help would be appreciated)

Either you've got paragraph wrap turned on to some number that's too small,
or you've got it turned off when you compose and on when you read.
