I have no oil pressure, but oil level is full.

Could it be anything besides the oil pump?

check the guage first, unthread teh oil pressure sending unit and check the pressure, is there any on the guage? if not theres a issue with the oil system, if it shows pressure then either the guage is bad or the sending unit. let me know what you find.

I have done more research on this issue. I recently added a product called ZMAX to my oil and the next day had oil pressure problems. Sounds like it stirred up sludge on the intake tube. How hard is it to remove the pan and clean it out?

wouldnt take long at all, but that sludge could be in your engine now. you might need to have the block flushed out also. expensive.
