Could well be a loose connection to the sensor, mine did this a few months ago. Sometimes worked fine, sometimes moved about between min and max of its own accord. Found out that my sensor was actually broken so not making a good connection but check the wires first!
Cheers

hi craig
be carefull if you change it. it should have a gap from the block. don't be tempted to do what i did and screw it in tight. 
that's how i know quick steel works!

torque to 23nm or17 ft lb.there's a locking compound/sealer on the threads thats why you need to use the correct torque and not the F T technique.
