Car sputtered and then shut down while driving. The indicator light said it was the oil pressure. Is that the case?
Oil pressure drops when rpm's drop to .well..zero...so no... oil pressure is a result not a cause likely....did you overheat it ? drive it to 107mph and have the rev limiter kick in? does it start and run now ?
previous issues similar? last service ? mileage? ty in advance....need this info to help you
ok...1. fuel pump in tank needs tested /replaced
2. ignition module in distributor ..ditto....
3. mystery electrical sensor sending info to computer could be failing like mass airflow or throttle position sensor....but should have set a trouble code by now ...any check engine light issues?

did start back up after about 10 minutes sitting in the middle of the road...just driving regular speed
oil/lube service less than 5,000 miles, never stopped before, about 85,000 miles on it...
I was driving normal speed then truck started puttering, would not move then shut off. Let it sit for about 5 min and turned back on with no problem and no check engine light or anything. Drove about 15 minutes and the same thing happened except this time right before it shut off it said Check engine oil pressure. What could be wrong?
07 tahoe 5 min after truck runing oil presure statr going down then light comes on to turn engine off.
It is possible, but, the oil light will come on anytime the key is turned on and the engine is not running. It will stay on till the engine starts and oil psi is built by the pump. So, there might be another reason to your problem!
Could be the fuel pump. Was it hot, and did it start back up again after it cooled?
was driving and the car shut off and oil pressure went down but now works
oil light came on when car died
no smoke oil light came on
