The light comes on when the car stalls because the engine is not running and the pump therefore is not pumping. The pressure will always be 0 when the engine stalls and the light is directly related to pressure. This is normal, you have no problem, other than the engine stalling.

Your beautiful
2001 eclipse how do you shut off the oil light?
The oil light is indicative of extremely low oil pressure. First check the oil level, if the car has little to no oil in it, the light will come on. Assuming the sensor is functioning correctly, and the car has oil in it, the oil light being in would indicate a clogged or broken oil pump which can not provide sufficient oil pressure. Driving with very low oil or a malfunctioning oil pump will damage the internals of the engine in very short order and lead to expensive repairs. If the oil light is on and the oil level is where it should be, you shouldn't drive the car and should have it towed to a mechanic to be looked at.
Will it hurt to drive your car a few miles a qt low on oil?
As long as the oil pressure light does not come on it will do no damage. If the light comes on, even for a few seconds, stop immediately.
