How do I know if my oil pimp is going out in my 1993 ford explorer? It is missing out acting like it is going to die at a stop sign and the oil gage go to low in goes back and forth to normal and low. I changed fuel filter new plugs and wires.

I just took it to have the oil pressure checked and oil changed and the pressure was good. But when at a stop light it acts like it is getting to much gas it tries to go when I have the break pressed the plugs were changed about a month ago. And the wires bout 6months ago. I cant afford to take it to a mechanic to do the test on it. That is about 100 - 150 just to put it on computer.
