I have a 89 GT with alum. heads and basic bolt ons, automatic transmission with to-go shift kit.. when im at a stop light for some time and still have it in drive with my foot on the brake.. the car starts acting all funny and the oil guage goes up and down like its possess! then it sits at the bottom low and moves a little from redline to 1 bar. it goes back to normal just when you hit the gas. whats the problem? its fine when you stick it in nuetral or park.

oil is fine.. just changed it just incase.. still doing it.. the oil gauge hops around at low when your in drive at a stoplight.. engine sounds off too.. but fine when you stick it on nuetral.
