Oil Light comes on when the Pressure drops below a certain amount. If I was a betting man, I would tell you to test your CRANK SHAFT SENSOR.

SOURCE: 1996 Saturn SL, 4 cylinder,

I also had the same problem with my 1996 Saturn SL1, and it also was the starter. I thought it was an electrical problem until, just on a whim I pulled the starter. One of the brushes was almost gone and the commutator looked like hell. I cleaned up the commutator and brushes, and it spun like a top for about a month, until the worn out brush finally died. I also ordered a new starter the same day of the cleaning. Just a word of advice if you will be buying a new starter, go on Ebay Motors and find the store dbelectrical. They sell brand new starters for $49.95 with no core charge plus $12 UPS shipping. So $61.95 vs $150+ at your local parts store....Myself and my friend from work have both bought and daily use starters from them with no problems or complaints to report.

Try checking the starter solenoid wires.Make sure the wire hasnt come loose and the battery to solenoid cable is tight.

Anti theft system. You might have a door lock causing the anti theft system to kick in. (thinking its being stolen.)

I have a 04 GMC envoy,, got out of vehicle left it running, went back out about 10 minutes later and the engine had stopped, headlights and dash lights were still working, and still do. Tried turning...

Check the relays in the fuse panel. Look for an ASD auto shut down relay or something similar. Many relays are the same swap one for another and see if it starts then, if it does the relay you swapped is bad.

Chrysler 300m oil light came on while driving and the engine then shut down. the oil light is still on the dash and the car wont start. turns over fine just dont run

Are you SURE that it was Oil Light then Engine Shut off? There is not a ENGINE SHUT OFF if the light comes on that I am aware of and I have worked on quite a few 300's.

I would be trying to start the vehicle by:
Verify Fuel Pressure
Spray Starting Fluid in the Intake and see if it starts then
Are you sure there is Spark?
CRANKSHAFT SENSOR went bad

2000 300m, car was running fine the all a sudden the oil light came on and the engine shut down. car will turn over but not start. oil light is on on the dash.

Either the oil pressure switch has failed, or you really do have zero oil pressure. The lack of oil pressure can kill the fuel pump to prevent a fire in a wreck.
You may be able to jumper the fuel pump relay to see it it will start, then figure out the oil pressure issue.

All dashlights came on and then the car died

Sounds like your car just stalled out. I wouldn't be too worried about it unless it starts to happen often or if any dash light stay on. Scott

I Have a 94 cherokee country with a 56028297 ecu,it has no power at the grey wire at the ecu,it does flash sometimes and I can hear the relay work sometimes. I can bypass the fuel pump relay circuit and...

If you hear relays clicking sometimes and the jeep won't start, at those times, is the check engine light illuminated on the dash, or not? If no check engine light is on the dash, at times when the jeep won't start, your ecu is in need of repairs. The ecu sends power to the ignition and fuel relays and when the ecu starts to malfunction, the relays usually start clicking.

Difficult to start again after warm up engine.

give the engine a minute or two to cool down before turning it off. This cool down period allows oil to circulate and cool down the bearings in the turbo. If you shut off the engine immediately after hard driving, the oil can gum up around the hot bearings and create problems down the road.
Hope this helps
