When we start the jeep up it runs fine. After it is driven for about 15 minutes or so it is still runing fine, its just when you slow down the oil pressure gauge goes to zero and the check gauge light comes on. When you start to accelerate again it goes back up and the gauge light goes off. As far as I can tell I still runs fine when it goes down to zero.[/quote:3227b71335]

The first thing is do you hear any noise when the oil pressure drops down to 0 psi. If not Thats a good thing the common problem with them is the oil pressure sensor gets cloged thier is no way to clean it replace the oil pressure sensor. its located right above the oil filter If it makes noise or the problem continues you should have the oil pressure checked by a guage I have seen quite a few of thies sensors go bad at leat 100 99 % of the time it is just the sensor
