The issue with your 1983 Subaru GL losing oil pressure when the accelerator is not engaged and nearing overheating at idle could be due to a failing oil pump, which may not be providing adequate pressure at lower RPMs. Additionally, a clogged oil filter or low oil levels might contribute to poor oil circulation. The overheating could indicate a malfunctioning thermostat, a blocked radiator, or a failing water pump, which impairs coolant flow. It's advisable to check both the oil system and cooling system components for proper function.
