Yes, it sounds like the oil pressure sending unit has gone bad in your car. There are a lot of threads and videos available to help you out on this problem. Use the search function and enter oil pressure sensor and you should get quite a few hits.

I recommend re-locating it so it's out of the hostel environment and easier to change !!
here are some files if you are so inclined !!

When the oil pressure sending unit went bad in my '99, it would show 80 psi and read 130 psi in the DIC, with the ignition on, but the engine not started or running!
