Default 1997 Grand Cherokee Laredo

I am new to Jeep ownership and I am already having some issues I need some help with! The first issue : everytime we drive our Jeep for 20 min to 30 min the oil pressure gauge starts to drop all the way to 0 then as you keep driving it starts to bounce then will just stay at 0 for a couple mins then goes back up to 40. Any help on this would be helpful!! Second issue: whenever we drive the Jeep she starts to stall while stopped at stop lights or sometimes even stop signs! Any advise would help!!!!

The oil pressure sending unit is most likely on its way out. Really common problem. If you want to confirm you'll need to get a mechanical gauge to measure the pressure.

As for the stalling, could be tons of things. When was the last tune up done?

Could be simple, most likely it is.

Is the sending unit right in front of the oil filter? Is a inline 6. As far as the tune up I am pretty sure it needs one so I guess I will start with that!!
