Oil pressure light comes on when I stop and goes off when I get the rpm's up to 700 or put it in neutral.

Good evening,
The engine idle needs to be at 700. If it is not, then you may have a dirty throttle body.

When the idle is low, the pressure drops and the light could come on.

Got it.
It is too low.
You need to do What I suggested to see if it raises the idle. That needs to be addressed first.
