Okay...got the manual oil pressure gauge installed today. Pressures were:
46 idle after being off for about 2 or 3 hours...about 37-38 after driving to warm temperature
53 driving down highway at a little over 2000 rpm
58 under heavier load 3500 up to 4500 rpm
Also, I cleared the CEL after I installed the manual gauge and left the sensor plugged in (to the wiring harness, but not in the motor), and the CEL never came back on during 45 minutes of driving, and no low pressure warning (even though the sensor wasn't even plugged in to measure any pressure at all!!!). Normally, the CEL would have came back on within 5 miles of clearing and driving it. Picking up a new sensor in the morning, as it seems that is the problem. PHEW!!! Breathing a HUGE sigh of relief...since oil pump was $1,600.00 for parts and labor!!!
