SOURCE: Oil pressure suddenly dropped to zero.

Hello, let's see what you need.
Yes, the pump can go out that fast.
Do not start your engine. Go out and check the oil. If you have plenty of oil you will need to tow it to a shop. If your out of oil check the the drain plug on the oil pan and check the oil filter.

SOURCE: 1995 GMC Sierra z71 oil pressure dropped- need advice on this

The oil pump is in the oil pan and needs to be dropped and being a 4WD you also need to drop the front axle pumpkin to remove the oil pan and replace all the gasket needed. Start with the easy and replace the oil pressure sending unit, it's on the back of the engine to the passenger side of the distributor. You can go to Auto Zone and pick up a new Oil sending unit, just make sure your get the right one, "Sending Unit" Looks the same are the oil pressure sensor but the unit reads the pressure, the other just signal a light to go on and off. It's an easy fix like replacing a spark plug.

When im driving or giving car gas oil pressure is good, if car stops moving and gets no gas oil pressure drops to zero? I drive a 2007 gmc envoy 4.2 liter. Any ideas everyone says just a bad motor.

Are you hearing a knocking coming from the engine if so yeah there may be a rod getting ready to go soon which would be an engine replacement. Have you checked the oil levels? It could also be an oil pump or oil pressure sensor. There are many things to consider and many things it could be.

My 2005 Envoy's low oil pressure light will come on when I am at a stop and my car is ideling. My oil gauge will also drop. I just change the oil and filter about 1 month ago

When engine is idling the oil pressure sign can come up and that is OK. However if you've noticed that gauge shows much lower oil pressure that a bad sign. Show it to knowledgeable mechanic (but don't be lured in the engine replacement; ask for a root cause - it may be oil receiver or oil pump). Also I hope there's no oil puddles under the car? What about oil level?

Why is my 2007 envoy denali oil pressure dropping?

check oil level in sump. You may have to remove the sump to check for cracked oil pick up line . Check oil pump pressure regulator . replace oil filter as it may be blocked and dropping the oil straight back to the sump.

My oil pressure gage just drops to 0!!!

You need to replace the oil pressure sending unit, this is what tells your gauge what the pressure is. For future information if your oil pressure drops again and its a real failed oil pump within a few minutes you will internally damage the engine. I would get a new Oil Pressure Sending Unit. Let me know if you have any questions.... Thanks!
