Oil Pressure 1998 Mustang?
I was borrowing my mom's car the other day and it started acting really funny.
When the car was in park or stopped at a red light the oil pressure gauge would go all the way down to the L. The car would idle pretty low too, shutter a little.
Then every time I would push the gas pedal it would shoot up almost all the way to the H.
What are a list of possible problems it could be?

I think the oil pressure drop is the result of the low idle- get the idle up where it belongs and the oil pressure should hang in okay. EGR valve hanging open and dirty throttle body are the two major suspects, and both of those are worth cleaning on general principles.
