Question Oil pressure gage toggles???

Lately, my 96' Explorer has been acting strange. After driving for a while (and the engine warms up), the engine will rough idle and the oil pressure gage will toggle from normal to very low pressure in sync with the engine rough idle. When I rev the engine the oil pressue gage goes back to normal, and there's only a slight vibration that is noticeable. Anyone seen this before?

1. welcome to FTE

2. You need to provide much better info please. Tell us the motor(5.0 or 4.0) transmission(auto or standard) milage, etc. All these will help you to get a quicker and more acurate response.

3.Your question will be asnwered if you post in the appropriate forum, either in the explorer forum or the appropriate motor forum, or even both sometimes.

Good luck and I hope this makes your time spent here much more enjoyable as its possible that someone else might not have let ya off as easy if they weren't having a good day.
