When I stop my oil Pressure goes to zero and my rpms decline until the car dies. To combat this I have been putting the car in N which seems to keep the oil pressure up a bit I still have to gas it on longer lights and such tho.
It does have a oil leak somewhere around the filter I am told but the car has plenty of oil.

Have an "actual oil pressure" test with a gauge or do it yourself. If you're lucky, it will be just a bad oil pressure sending unit. If you're not, it's probably a bad oil pump or engine bearings. Good luck.
