Default 3.1-3.4 Oil pressure issues?

Got a 3.4 V6 in a '95 Bird with low oil pressure at hot idle. Like real low. Seems strange to me, regular oil changes, no noise from engine & lots of hwy miles.
Besides the usual suspects, is there an issue with oil pressure relief springs breaking in these engines? I have seen this mentioned in some internet searches.
If the sending unit proves accurate, it looks like it pan would need to come off.
