My oil pressure gauge drops to zero when I stop and then goes back up. Hope it's the sensor and not the pump

It's in the same location for all the engine sizes including the 3.9L V-6. Remove the bonnet, then, as you're facing the back of the engine, it's to the right of the distributor.

Sorry, the drawings aren't showing up. Let me know if you can't find the sending unit.
