I'll second that. Oil pressure switch is the ,ost likely problem.
Also, has the oil been changed recently? Has the problem been there
before the last change? What 10W30 are you using? I have had an oil
pressure problem on a 3.3 using Penzoil 10W30 that went away when I
changed to a different brand.

I think I'll just replace that switch when the wife gets back with the
car (next week). I'll post the results afterwards. I've been using
Castrol Syntec for about a year, and after all I've read about it, I'm
not terribly impressed since it seems it's not a true synthetic, at
least not like the pricey Amsoil I run in my motorcycle. More soon.

Not a "true synthetic" but pretty darn good oil for the money. Chances
are excellent it is more than adequate for your use.
