Well this guy who lives down the road from me had the same problem and said he had his cleaned and it fixed the problem. Could it have something to do with my pressure regulator?

when its cold, unplug the front o2 and start it up and let it warm up, if it stays running good until you plug it back in thats your problem.
TPS sensor is another possibility.

Recently when at operating tempature of about 210* in AZ with ambient temps of 105*+ coming to a stop my oil pressure gauge drops to 0. If I put it in nuetral and Rev it up it will go back to normal.of around 20-30 at idle. Put it in drive go to next light slow down and it drops to 0 again but engine runs and sounds normal. As soon as light turns green I give it gas.and it goes back to normal. At around 45 an 1500rpm its at about 38-40psi steady.
This does not happen every time, just has been getting more frequent.
I'm assuming its the oil pressure gauge acting up not the actual oil pressure itself. Does anyone have a picture of the area where the oil pressure gauge is and maybe a how to either clean it or replace it?
Any help would be apprrleciated.

Check the wires plugged into it, clean em out and slap it together with some dielectric grease around the edge (and electric grease like GB Ox-Gard or Sanchem NO-OX on the individual pins if you have it)
