Why would the oil pressure gauge on a chev s-10 pickup 2004 go low when idle but okay when going faster?

Because your engine and therefore oil pump are turning slower at idle. It is a normal condition unless you hear rattling also at idle.

Oil pressure fluctuates on a Toyota Tacoma?
The oil pressure gauge is going to fluctuate on a Toyota Tacoma or any automobile. The oil pressure is less when the auto is idling and more when the auto is going down the road.

Why your oil pressure gose to 0 after you strat your 1998 Chevy 350 5.7 lt?
Check your oil pressure gauge, if your just going by what it says the gauge might be wrong Iv had this happen bout 4ish times and its always the tube running to the oil pressure gauge is pinched so its not getting a good reading.
What would cause your oil pressure gauge to go down to the red line at idle and back up when driving I'm thinking oil pump oil pressure sensor or the gauge?
sounds like the cam bearings may be going bad
How do you i test the oil pressure gauge on a 1998 Chevy?
Take the wire loose from the oil sending unit and then turn the key on and ground the wire to the engine somewhere and the gauge in the truck should go all the way past the highest point. If it don't then the gauge in the dash is bad are the wire going to it ( The 1 you grounded ) is broken. If the gauge is reading low oil pressure, Then unscreew the oil sending unit on the engine just behind the distributor, were you took the wire loose from. Then install a OIL PRESSURE GAUGE into it's place. Then start the engine and read the pressure, Now compare the reading on the dash gauge to what you are reading on the oil gauge.
What should you do if you have an above-ground pool with a sand filter and the pressure gauge is only reading at 5 but you changed the sand in the filter and it still won't raise the pressure?
You may need a new pressure gauge. They are inexpensive and can be found at any place that sells pool products. OR That may be all that you are going to get out of the system you have.
The oil pressure gauge on your 1996 mercury grand marquis keep fluctuating minute to minute sometimes It never did that before usually stayed centered Is the oil pump going?
That, or the gauge is going. Or a loose wiring connection. I'd bet on the last.
