As the engine speed increase so does the speed of the oil pump.

the faster the pump turns the higher the pressure becomes.

When changing gear the engine speed drops along with the oil pressure.

Low oil but your oil pressure gauge indicates normal pressure?

Oil level and oil pressure are different. You don't need to have full oil to get normal pressure.


Is it normal for the oil gauge to drop down very low at a stop?

It is normal for the pressure to drop. It depends what you mean by "very low". Check the oil level and the condition of the oil and filter. The oil and filter may need changing.

Why is a 1995 jeep wrangler stalling when accelerating and why wont it start when the tank is filled up with gas?

Try changing the fuel filter. If that doesnt work put the fuel rail on a pressure gauge. If there is too much pressure then your fuel regulator is not working properly or your return lines to the tank are fouled up somewhere. If the pressure is too low then the fuel pump is getting ready to go. You can get a fuel pressure gauge at Harbor Freight for less then ten buck. Then check the plugs, air filter, etc just to rule it out. Its somewhere to start anyway.


98 chevy truck check gauge light comes on?

That light notifies you that one of the gauges is out of its normal parameter. Check the temp (overheating), the voltage (not charging) and the oil pressure gauge (low or no oil pressure).


Oil pressure gauge reads zero after starting the engine then in a couple of minutes goes up a little then jumps to normal and stays there?

Oil pressure has to built up. As long as the pressure is normal and the oil level is good. There is no problem.
