Checked oil quantity? No metallic noises from engine? If you're sure there is actually pressure there, try a cheap after market gauge or check for some change in voltage across the sender terminals. If those tests fail, you may need a new/replacement sender.

The sender could be dead. If it is, it's a pain in the ass to replace, as you have to remove the intake manifold. I did that job a couple of months ago - wasn't fun.
