Try a different sensor you could have a bad one. For example, I changed my Oil Pres sensor a couple of years a ago when I broke it and the new one read the pressure really low. So low I was worried I had a problem with my pump. Took it off and swapped it out for a new one and pressure was back up to normal. That's where I'd start.

The gauge sensor is actually located in the driver side cylinder head. The one in the water pump is for the PCM.
