I have a 96 thunderbird my problem is when the air condisioner is off all my gages are fine but when i turn on the air condisioner my oil pressure shoots throu the roof and my engine tempeture turns real cold. is it the sensor or the gages or could it be somin else?

An easy and not that costly fix would be the sending units to the gauges. But I would be checking the wireing first with a meter.

sorry when you say the sending units to the guages what do you mean by that?

You probley have a wire shorting out somewhere. Maybe under the dash or in a switch.

what tools will i need to figure out my problem?

A good volt meter, or a lite would be a start. But if you have a friend that has either try to borrow, plus the friends help.
