Default 2000 Dodge Neon stalls

I have a 2000 Dodge Neon. The oil light comes on while stop lights and the car also stalls. I have checked the oil level and it is fine. I have taken the car to two mechanics but they have offered no help to me. Can someone help me with what may be wrong with the car?

The oil pressure sensor goes out and/or comes loose on these, causing the light to come on erroneously.

As for the stalling, how old and in what condition are the spark plugs and spark plug wires?

what have the useless unhelpful mechanics done so far?

oil light on and stalling indicates the engine is failing internally like if you were out of oil.

I am not sure about the plugs and wires I will have to check them. The mechanics did basically nothing. They told me that they could not get the car to stall for them and could not do anything if the car did not stall.

The plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles and the wires every 60,000. If you have no idea, they probably need to be changed.

does it stall after driving for over 20 min? then does it start up and stall again or does it not start or does it start after you wait a while or does it start and run fine for some period of time?


MORE INFORMATION IS NEEDED!!!!!
