Why do your engine oil pressure light keep blinking on my 2000 Ford Taurus when drove for a period of time?

Inside the engine, bearings (camshaft, rod and crankshaft) float on a thin film of oil. The viscosity of the oil is high enough that the bearings never actually touch the crankshaft or camshaft. The oil is pressurized to force it into the space between the bearing and the bearing "journal".
If the oil pressure diminishes below a specific level it may not be forced into the space between all of the bearings, potentially leaving one or more of the bearings without lubrication.
It doesn't take many miles of operation with low or no oil pressure before the engine is severely damaged.
The blinking oil pressure light indicates that the engine oil pressure is dangerously low.

What is the 3 phases of combustion in a compression ignition engine?
The combustion process of a compression ignition engine can be divided into: 1) The delay period (start of injection until first visible flame) 2) The rapid pressure rise period 3) The mechanically controlled burning period 4) The after-burning period

you mean systolic pressure
When is diastolic pressure measured?
during the period when the heart is relaxed between beats and pressure is lowest

When is the Blood pressure greatest in the arteries?
Blood pressure in the arteries is greatest during systole. Systole is the period of heart contraction, while diastole is the period of heart relaxation.
What if your oil pressure gauge on your 1987 F150 has gradually dropped to zero pressure over a one month period and stays there The check engine light comes on now Oil level good 65k miPump bad?
The oil pressure sensor for a 1987 F150 could be bad. If the sensor is good and the pressure has actually dropped then the oil pump may be bad again.
How do you depressurize a fuel system in a 1995 gmc vandura 2500?
Fuel pressure gauge hokked to port, gauge has a relief valve and hose to dump to a container. Can try pulling fuse for fuel pum, turn engine over for a period long enough to relieve most but not all the pressure.
