I lost oil pressure. After letting it sit for a few minutes, then restarting, I got oil pressure for about 15 seconds, then nothing.

I was towed back to where the engine was flushed, oil and filter changed, then when I restarted, I got oil pressure on fresh oil at idle, and a bit more.

If I revved the engine, it would loose pressure. Let it come back to idle and pressure would return

If it's the oil pick up/screen, is there a way to open this restriction? If I have to drop the pan, can it be done without pulling the engine?

first you probable want to change the oil pressure switch there are cheap but you dont have to

but wat you can do is take the engine mount bolts off and get a bottle jack and jack up the front off the engine untill the pan will comeout you might have to take parts of the exuast off or vacumm line that might be in the way

but when you clean the screen off take little cutters and cut the screen out thats wat i did

when i changed mine i also replaced the oil pump mine oil pump was only 30
