Pull the dash cluster and check for broken solder joints where the big connector is soldered to the printed circuit board. I had an 88 Grand Prix that had this problem bad. Oil pressure pegged always and another gauge reading right, and then not. You can test for this by pounding on the top of the dash with your fist while driving. I know, this is a little red of the neck procedure, just don't spill your beer during the test ....
