Hello, either the oil pressure sending unit or the electrical circuit for the unit has a concern, or the base engine oil pressure is of concern. Testing is required to verify and validate proper engine oil pressure, and then checking the sending unit and wiring will be needed.
Additionally for the 4.2L engine - manual oil pressure gauge readings may be as low as 9 psi at idle - that’s not a problem - I’ve had some experience with that! Pressure should increase with engine rpms. Engine oil level and viscosity - as well as oil filter ‘quality’ are important factors as well.
