What sort of pressure do you get at idle when it is hot? I would think
that might be lower as the oil will have thinned out?

Unless you have a lot of time, I'd just get a new oil pump at this
stage. Long as you are in there and dirty, just swap the pump and put

armpits that way. Since it was a sudden change in pressure, and you
have checked real pressure, it seems to me that the pump or an
obstruction on the sump are the likely culprit.
10 psi at idle (cold) on my new HF gauge. :(
How do I check the relief valves?
Pull the oil pan next?
