Low oil pressure is caused by bad bearings, low oil level. faulty oil filter, pump pressure regulator faulty and wrong grade of oil .AS to the other run the fault codes to check for faulty sensors.( probably MAF sensor )

SOURCE: my car idle dips to low RPM at a stop i give it gas it dies

Is the engine light on? Check the air inlet hose between the throttle body & MAF sensor for cracks or leaks. Try unplugging the MAF & see if there is any difference

SOURCE: Where is the fuel filter on a 1994 Mazda b4000 pickup?

Driver side frame rail right where the door is. It's held in by a large hose clamp. It has 2 white plastic clips . 1 on each hose of the filter. When removing have a container that can hold gas ready because about a pint of gas will come out. Make sure new filter comes with new clips. I don't recommend using old ones. After new one in place turn key on and leave in run position for 20 seconds so filter can gill with fuel before starting and inspect fir leaks.

Have a 1994 mazda b4000. fuel pump working. replaced fuel filter. it will start then dies. if you put your foot on throttle it will die

There is a special spray cleaner for the Mass air flow and throttle position sensors. Don't use just any spray cleaner or you will destroy the sensors. If, after the cleaning, the problem persists, have them both tested. Run a diagnostic test with a code reader to dind out what codes the computer gives so you can get the correct replacement parts.

Mazda 323 stalls intermittently or runs roughly at start up

Try looking for a vacuum leak somewhere close to but after the Mass Air Flow sensor. This can cause both a bad idle and stalling.

1996 t bird 4.6l idles up and down

If it idles up and down real high, its the throttle body sensor. If it's a low up and down idle and runs rough it is mass air flow meter. If you unplug the mass airflow meter and it will just low idle (no up & down) then the mass air flow meter is bad.

1994 Cougar XR7 Engine idling rough and running rough at low and

Not saying this for sure, but I had the same problem, and i have a 1994 xr7 V6 3.8 L , and all u need to do is set the idle down manually because your computer could have seen that the injector was stuck open, and tried to turn up idle to keep up with the amount of fuel being pumped, worth a shot :P

Misfiring when accelerating at highway speeds in fifth gear

It could be a couple of things.
1) Check to make sure the wires are in the correct firing order.
2) Check to make sure th plugs are still good, including the gap.
If these don't work than you should probably have a mechanic look at it in person.
