i recently had my car fixed, it would drive fine and then just shut off. If started and left run it would run fine. It ended up being a bad TCC (torque cylinder converter). I also had a complete transmission flush. Now when i drive my oil pressure guage goes up and down. If accelerating of normal driving it registers between 40-50. When braking or at a stop it goes way down to almost zero. Car seems to run fine though. What could be the problem?

If you're hearing engine noises better immediately check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge-if normal replace the oil pressure switch-if not could be oil pump, engine bearings-etc
