Hey guys. Wondering if you could help me out with an issue I'm having. My car normally idles high at about 1500rpm's or so, and I thought my oil pressure was higher, but it's hard to tell because my car's usually idling higher.

But yesterday I was driving my car and it was idling around 1000rpm's. I checked the oil and found that it was about a quarter down on the dip stick (from full). So, I added a quarter of a quart and continued to drive around. Then, I went to go watch the Pistons game and I come back to start the car probably about a half hour later and it starts right up and these guys were asking me about it. Then after about two minutes, it just stalled. Any ideas??? I would say my oil pressure was at about 25 psi. Not sure if that would have any connection at all, but thanks a lot in advance! I really appreciate your help,

What are your mods? Or is it completely stock? If it's stock, it should idle at ~7-800 RPM. Why was it idling at 1500 before? Need more info to aid diagnosis.

25 psi oil pressure at 1000 sounds about normal for a warm engine.

Anybody???

I really don't have a clue - too many things could cause this - bad fuel, bad fuel pressure, bad O2 sensor, many other things that I'm no expert on. So I am just trying to get as many clues as possible so someone can help.

Did it run rough before stalling, did it gradually slow down, or was it idling smoothly at a constant 1000RPM and just quit?

it didn't run rough, it just was idling at 1000rpm's and started to fall off (like sputter out) i think that's a good way of describing it
