Oil pressure woes...

Oil pressure woes...
this just started recently. When comming to a stop, it's as if the oil sloshes in the pan and the pressure on my guage drops from 40 to zero. The check guages light comes on the dash and the car sometimes stalls. The motor is full of oil, the oil pan and low oil level sensor are brand new.
I have no metal shavings in the oil. Have changed the oil twice and cut oil filters open... clean as can be.
Any ideas?

Go out and check the oil one more time and if it is full, you have some very serious problems.
Did this just start happening? Or is this something that has been slowly getting worse?

It's full, I've checked it several times in the past two days. The motor doesn't knock, and isn't noisy at all. I'd think it would knock if it really had zero oil pressure. I'm starting to think it's the low oil level sensor on the passenger side of the oil pan.
The problem started out of nowhere, it had plenty of oil pressure, then suddenly it's began to act up.
