Default CEL & Stalling

tonight i was driving around and the cel light came on and the car started idling rough then it died, so i went in to best buy and came back out and started the car up and the Light was off and the car was running fine, then a couple hours later i was in it at a stop light and it died and said the "oil pressure was too low" then i restarted it and it ran fine then it died again and again and again about 5 times in a row then it ran fine the rest of the night, i tryed getting in touch with my dealership from the 1st sign of danger but they where apparantly just too busy to even answer the phone or check messages, wonder what it was bad gas or something?

It's usually the MAF sensor, or something related to emissions. It was the cat converter in my case. But, usually the car runs fine in those instances. It may indeed be bad gas, or clogged gas filter. Regardless, I wouldn't drive it around until it is solved. It may or may not damage the engine, but it can certainly strand you somewhere.
