Did you check the oil level - Not being a smart aleck. My kid complained of the same thing and I bought a new Oil pressure transmitter and a new connector pigtail. Right before I was gonna cut the old connector I checked the oil and there was zero oil on the stick.

It was literally 3 quarts low it was also like 2,000 miles overdue on an oil change... So basically he drove almost 6,000 miles without checking or changing the oil.

The pressure transducer can go out on these. I had it happen 150 miles from home in the middle of nowhere. It was a long drive back home but was glad it was not the pump.
