Try filling it with a top grade premium gas.

15w-30 engine oil and ATF transmission oil probably an atf -4 oil
ring any automatic transmission shop for the oil specs
make sure that it is a genuine automatic transmission and not a cv transmission ( constant velocity )transmission as using ATF oil will destroy the belt and the transmission

sounds like the relay is bad, or getting weak anyhow, and overheating

have all co2 sensors, air in-take sensors, and the cam an crankshaft senors checked.

check your vaucumn hoses for leaks any leak in that system will effect your fuel pressure regulator and fuel rail that controls the running ability

Check your stop light switch, mounted on the upper portion of the brake pedal, it has an electric plug in attached to it, it should be why the brake lights are'nt working.

I had the same problem with my 2003 Lancer OZ. The oil level and pressure were ok. Car was fine with no light when starting. After 10 to 15 mins of driving it would come on when I was stopped. It would go away when I pressed accelerator. Try replacing the Oil Sending Unit. It's about $10 and easy to swap. That was my problem.
