Well does it drive? What does it do if you give it throttle? That can be literally anything. From what I can tell low idle and very low oil pressure (if the gauge works) can mean an oil pump failing or timing belt skipped. It also sounds like your belt is squeeling which can cause a temporary low idle until it warms up and the belt stops slipping.
 
My oil pressure gauge is like that. Because it's unhooked. I'd verify that ASAP. Do NOT drive the car until you either fix the sending unit or install another gauge to verify that it is in fact getting oil pressure. Ask me how I learned this. If you want the photo gallery of fun that ensues when you drive a car without oil pressure, I can show you.
 
get an aftermarket oil pressure gauge.. I've owned my 2g for about 2 years and my manufactured oil gauge has never worked. you will know for sure once your motor blows up or seizes after no oil. definitely get an after market gauge :) :hellyeah:
