I need some advice before i go to a mechanic to wast money
My jeep just recently started reading 40 psi when not running in auxiliary mode and maxes out the gauge when i turn it on... what is causing the problem i heard that this happens in jeeps often where is the sensor located ?
So umm doese it look like this in my 2000 ?

Assuming you don't have a more serious problem the oil pressure sending unit is screwed into the bottom of the distributor housing and has a single wire plug going to it. Yes that`s it in your photo.

Motor sounds great at the moment, its probably a sensor or gauge issue since my gauge is at 40 psi when its not even running i just dont know what the exact problem is
