When driving during acceleration or idling the check gauges light displays and the oil pressure gauge dives to 0 pressure for a few seconds then fluctuates back to the proper reading as the check guages light goes back out and now it's a bit more routine than when it initially started approx. 2 weeks ago. What do you feel could be the problem and the solution to repairing the problem?

Hi
Check oil pressure switch on right side engine block. See if any oil leaking and terminal tight. If good either replace switch and/or place a mechanical gague and get reading on pressure.
Hope this helps
Thanks for donate
