Re: My T-Bird stalls when put in gear and has a low/rough idle

It shouldn't make a difference in your stalling. I am concerned about the beep and low oil pressure thing.

Let me clarify (and maybe confuse) the oil pressure gauge. It is definitely an oil pressure gauge, but it doesn't indicate pressure like a gauge with numbers does. In order to save some money, many manufacturers use a gauge to look good, but all it does is show one of three settings; too low, just right, or too high. The fact that it indicates "L" while you're driving means that its falling below 10 psi which is way too low.

As long as you make sure the oil level doesn't fall below the level of the bottom of the dipstick, no engine damage should occur, but that low oil pressure thing scares me.

How many miles are on it ?
