Recently changed oil and filter, spark plugs wires cap and rotor,. Changed air filter as well. Noticed the next day that by oil pressure gauge climbs to normal level while accelerating but drops below normal when slowing down or stopping, then climbs again on acceleration. I have not gotten a check engine light or anything just wondering if this is a problem or an easy fix or nothing to worry about
SOURCE: 4.7 liter oil pressure gauge malfunctioning.
Check or replace the oil pressure sending unit.
SOURCE: Come to stop 99 Ram oil pressure drops to 0 check gauges light.
Change the oil! The 318Cu in V8 (5.2 liter) engine has a problem with sludge build up on the oil pump pickup tube screen. This engine requires oil changes at or before 3500 miles with a high detergent oil.

when u press the gas pedal to go this opens the throttle valve, the idle speed of your engine is computer controlled, this is done by the ISC (idle speed control) airbypass valve, these parts get full of gunk and then get a stalling problem at or near idle, clean them by doing the following, if u don't understand the instructions seek help from your friend.
, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.
