The oil pressure warning light comes on at 4psi so if you do have that oil pressure then your engine is most probably near dead!

However its probably a connection somewhere. Check the connection on the back of the sensor, its on the back of the oil pump.

Look at the connections and consider replacing the oil pressure sensor before condeming the oil pump.
