This happened before and after my oil change. Could it be the sensor? It happens when going around corners and also while sitting at the traffic lights. I would like some input before having to have whole engine torn apart. The engine is not making any more noise that before. It is not ticking.
Could very well be a oil pressure sending unit
replace that before tearing down the engine!

Low pressure when at idle, after the engine has warmed up and the oil has thinned, indicates that the oil pump is worn and needs to be replaced.

Sounds like your oil pump is bad - I'd have that checked. You can adjust throttle via the screw on the throttle line (look for the intake and there should be somthing resembling a bicycle cable going to the round throttle body). Tighter = higher idle. Fix the cause as soon as possible as this can destroy your engine quickly.

You could try thicker oil or stop using synthetic or add some lucas oil treatment or change the oil. The sender could be bad too. A diag is in order because if there is no presure the engine will soon die.

I would scan for engine codes to look for any clues. Then look at fuel mix, air flow, O2 sensors. All if this will provide information to tell you where to start.
Out of the blue guess is that you have and air leak in the throttle body, plug not firing right, dirty fuel filter, etc. Something starting to fail but not totally gone yet.
