I am residing at Saudi Arabia, very hot climate. A week back i purchased this Ameican used 4 wheel drive which is running well except for two prolbems. 1. The engine coolant temperature gage pointer points to just right to the midline at start and remains so during running. 2. Today after drving for about 6 miles when i stopped at a traffic light, I got a warning of " oil pressure low", "check gages" and stop engine. which disappeared when the vehicle started running only to reappear when i applied the brakes and disappeared with the pressure gage showing normal values once the vehile started running again. During all this I did not hear any noise from the engine, it was as smooth. Kindly advice me. Thank You.

Have the oil pressure tested with a manual gauge. It could be a bad pump or bearings.
