try cranking the engine with the oil filler off, and see if oil starts shooting the cam lobes or shooting out of the filler hole. this will determine if your pump is providing oil.
also i don't know if the OE oil pressure "sensor" is prone to failure, but did you ever think your oil light could be accurate. from what i understand it's a very basic switch.
if you're really crazy, you can temporarily connect a real oil pressure sensor to your oil filter block.
