Oil pressure problem?

Hi all,
Strange thing happened to me yesterday... Car started to act pretty erratic at low RPM. Doesn't response too good when I push the pedal. Feeling is like injectors are dirty or something. And that's not all... I've noticed oil pressure gauge acts strange. When engine is at some normal temperature oil pressure gauge needle sticks to the top (above 5) and doesn't move at all... even if I shut down the engine (but power still on). When engine is cold everything seems to be fine.
What could it be?

Sounds like you may have a ground issue. I would check the straps on the car to the battery and the one that runs from the starter to the chassis on the p/s. The gauge when the car is off I bet would drop to zero if gently tapped on. If the grounds were weak then the EZ control (ignition) would suffer as well.

Thanks for reply. I'll check it out, but problem is here only when engine is warm (1/3). And one other thing... I've noticed turbo is engaged on little higher RPM than ususal.
