Any idea what could be going on? I don't want to take it to a mechanic until I have some idea what's going on. I know that being a woman, a lot of times mechanics assume that I know absolutely nothing. Many things I can figure out, but I'm just stumped on this one.

does the car go into a low idle? casue its not getting enough power to get the oil pump to pump the oil around so it will drom to "0"
