How long has it been since you treated your engine to a tune up?I would change your spark plugs and wires.

Check to see if your air intake is clear so air can pass into your throttle body. If that's okay, then check your IAC valve (Idle air control) an clean it off with some throttle body cleaner. Same for the opening of the throttle body. The IAC is directly below the TB opening, and of you still can't find it, a quick google image search will clarify.

Oil gauge goes to zero when stopped or idle. No leaking, engine working good. Put oil in two days ago and again yesterday. Due for oil change in a couple of weeks. Light on dash board "check...

Possible that the OIL filter is clogged and is reducing the pressure due to this when the engine is idling or in low RPM. So before you run the engine further and make it more damaging , it is worth to have the engine oil / oil filter changed. If there is still no result, check the oil pressure switch. If not the oil pump can be faulty. This needs a technical help and should be consulted.

01 chevy cavalier: oil light coming on when car is stopping

Could be that your Oil pump is getting clogged or may not be fuctioning properly. Isnt getting enough power while at a low idle because its clogged.... When your stopped or in your driveway with the light on put your car in neutral and set the parking break and rev the motor up to 2200 RPM's and see if the light turns off.. If i does then that is most likely your problem.

2003 Tiburon GT, RPM's drop way down and idles rough at stop's?

More maintenance history needed. Oil changed regularly, timing belt replaced at 60 K miles, Engine air filter & intake air hose inspection?
Causes of the problem you describe are many. Recommend you have a technician check your throttle position sensor for any bad spots in the potentiometer... most likely cause when there is NO Check Engine light.
