Hi:

I really don't think it's the oil pump, unless the vehicle has no oil in it and it is locking-up. There are a few things that need to be checked. It could be a vacuum leak, a relay or a sensor (MAP, Mass Air flow...) If you have a ck engin light on, chances are there is a code stored in the computer.

Let me know if this helps.
