Loose connection or failing pressure sender.
0 psi indicates the connector has come loose.
80 would indicate a short to ground.

Thanks to everyone. I will try a new sender. The pressure reads normal when
the engine is cold and just a little low at 1000+rpm when hot. could the
pressure relief valve be stuck open? If so where is it?

Re: Help with oil pressure please.
More than likely is is the sender, they are notorious for failure. But you
should double check using a mechanical gauge you can borrow from your local
Auto-Zone.
When you get a replacement make sure it is a sender, not a switch for an
idiot light.
