My Ford Exployer resently started to drop the oil pressure to 0 after driving it for about a mile or so then when I stop or sometimes slow down it goes back to normal for awhile then drops again. What could be the problem dirty screen, bad oil pump, bad sending unit, or something with the guage.

The first thing I would do is verify the loss of oil pressure with a gauge screwed into to where the oil sending unit goes. If the pressure always reads good you have a sending unit gauge or wire issue.
