If the engine running and oil light is on ,oil level OK
I would suspect a bad oil pressure switch
if engine stalls and oil pressure comes on
than we need to find out why the engine stalling
is it fuel ,spark .a sensor !!!!
1st step would be to check all fluid and top of if needed
and lets check for codes
you can do so by cycling the ignition key on off on off on
read in the odometer area the codes or it will read DONE
let me know
if it stalls and it will take time but will restart I would suspect crank sensor and ASD relay
let me know as more testing may be needed
good luck
