Has anyone had this issue?
2006 f-250 5.4l 3v
Ok so got out onto the highway and the truck was not quite up to operating temp, then got a message on the dash saying check gauges! Oil pressure, was none, with what the gauge said, immediately pulled over shut the truck off and checked oil levels.. Levels good no leaks fired her up sounded fine no issues, put the truck in drive and started to accel, now I'm not sure if the truck was missing or what but I just sounded like the timing or some cylinders were not firing!! Pulled over shut the truck off. Waited a bit fired her back up ran fine, basically it continued this on off everytime I got driving but shutting the truck off and starting it up again got me back home without having to call a tow. Had one code 171, bank one running too lean. Ok so anyone got ideas the mechanic I went to said he doesn't know what it is and could not repeat the symptoms, I normally do my own work on my truck so it's better that way that he didn't do the work. But I need a bit of help from you fine guys and gals to begin my search! Thanks in advance!!

I would start by hooking up a real oil pressure gauge to see what pressure you actually have when this occurs. It may just be something simple like a bad oil sending unit or something as bad to as a clogged oil pick-up screen.
