Was driving around and everythIng seemed fine until i come to a stop. Car boggs down and autometer oil gauge reads 0, rpms drop to 100-200rpm and and car shuts off and oil light comes on. Car fires right back but continues to do the same thing until i give it gas or begin moving in which oil pressure becomes normal again. Ive searched but cant find anything related or i just suck at using the search button.

New oem oil pump
New oil pressure sensor

Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
I don't think your issue is oil pressure but rather that the car wants to stall. When the RPMs drop that low, the oil pump simply won't generate any pressure. If you were trully stalling from lack of oil the engine would be damaged by now, not running fine at cruising speed. So research causes of low idle/stalling and go from there.
 
I kinda had a feeling about that i just wanted to make sure. My car does tend to lean out sometimes and rpms drop significantly but usually doesnt turn off, a/f usually catches itself and adds more fuel bringing my idle back to 900rpms. I do think i have an idle issues. When i start the car it revs to 1500rpms before dropping to 900rpms when it warms up. Also after driving rpms bounce between 1500-2000 rpms until i put it in gear then it levels out to 900rpms again.
 
Have you replaced your throttle body? Your tps has to be adjusted, check your service manual to the correct voltage from the tps adjustment.
 
So i did a BLT and found several leaks. My j pipe, BOV, and throttle body and BISS screw are all leaking air. Would it be more beneficial to rebuild my stock 2g throttle body or go for the 1g ecimulti manifold and 1g throttle body?

In case you already haven't found out, whatever head you have (2g), you must have the same matching manifold. However, you can have a 1g throttle body (or larger if it bolts up)
