ok sometimes the oil pressure gauge reads 0 but the car is fine..then if you go when it goes back up to normal it stalls..is this common for autos..or is it the gauge thats all messed up

Stock Oil guages on FD have a tendecy to just foul up due to the location of whre they are positioned oil can get on the wire and begin to foul up things.. My boy Rx794 told me this cause I was witnessing the same problem but my car was not stalling out.

If you clean off the sending plug connector it's not so bad. Its a small one wire square connector just south of the oil filter. Refer to your work shop manual if you are unclear of the locale.

Sometimes just cleaning the connector will solve it, but you may have to replace the sender.

ive got the same prob, its just the gauge your car is fine

i had the same thing and cleaned the connector. i cant explain the stalling part though...

yeah same thing happens happened to me on several occasions ... i came to find out the wire kept coming off the sending unit. check that it is SECURELY on the sending unit . may want to pinch it down with a pair of liemans pliers or something of that nature.
