I bet your sensor is Fine. I see you have a rail gauge. Try pullin the connector out and cleaning it with contact cleaner and compressed air. I've never heard of the sensor going bad

Could be a failed sensor, or a stuck FCA. Above idle does it run o.k.?

I see the Arson CP3 in your sig.......I think another member on here had a problem with one barrell coming apart........could cause the actual low psi.

Did you try removing the RP gauge?Also buy some dielectric grease and put it on the factory and quad plug going to the RP sensor.Might ned to verify the fca is good also.The dealer can check command RP vs actual RP with a DRB scanner.Might better go that route first.Alot cheaper than buying parts you might not really need.My local dealer only charged me for 30 minutes labor when I had a similar issue.

Key words, this solved my problem when mine was running rough a couple of weeks ago. I did this to all of my connections i could reach.

Unplug the fca and start the truck it should spike up to about 17k to 20 some K. If it does you prob dont have a sensor out but faulty fca.

If the guage doesn't spike.....but it sounds like an old 12V, then you probably have a bad sensor!
