I had put on about 8,000 miles and i got a misfire in cylinder 3. so, i changed all the spark plugs and the coil pack for that cylinder. then about a month or two later i had another misfire, but in cylinder 1. so, i changed only that plug and coil pack. Then a few days later i was driving my oil light flashed and then my truck shut off, but also when i changed the spark plug for cylinder 1 there was oil on it, however my oil level has not dropped at all just the pressure that one time. i do feel it being sluggish and not as peppy as it was.

If the engine loses oil pressure the computer will shut the engine off, but it might be the oil pressure sensor going out so I would change that out first and we should run the codes.

Make sure the oil level is full in the engine here is the oil pressure sensor so you can check it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
