You say your oil is fine, but, really, when was the last time you checked it? What was the level on the stick?

Put it this way I got my oil change from sears 1 month ago and I checked it this morning and it is perfect but I think maybe the sensor is broken how much do they cost to replce and I don;t even know what they look like and where is it located?

That or the bearings could be shot. Does the motor knock at startup or at higher rpm?

Before replacing the sensor, I would suggest that you get your oil pressure tested - pressure sensors very rarely "break", and if you are running low oil pressure, your engine is gonna get screwed up real bad.
